Grenada welcomes back its annual Spicemas Carnival

The tri-island state of Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique welcomes back its world-famous Spicemas Carnival in August this year.

Back after a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, Spicemas is returning for an explosion of Grenadian culture at its best, with the festivities culminating on Carnival Monday August 8 and Tuesday August 9.

Brimming with pageantry and expression linked to the country?s African, French, British and Caribbean heritage, the carnival offers an important nod to Grenadian?s ancestral heritage.

Petra Roach, CEO of the Grenada Tourism Authority, said ?We are thrilled by the return of Spicemas this summer. It is undoubtedly a highlight of the year for locals and visitors alike, showcasing the best entertainment and culture that Grenada has to offer. We look forward to welcoming revellers who return year after year and first timers for this unique and all-immersive event.?
