This Saturday was the opening Parade for Carnival in Roseau! The actually dates for Carnival is Feb. 15-16 (Monday and Tuesday)! I will actually be off island for the event visiting my parents so I am trying to do as much 'Pre-Carnival" activities as possible.
It was an AMAZING parade filled with color, music, dancing, etc! Moments like these one can truly feel the vibe and amazing energy Dominica has! During the Parade there was numerous floats of local business, organizations, the Princess and Queens who are competing this year.
The history of Carnival dates back to when the Slave gained their Independence. Carnival always take place the Monday and Tuesday before Ash Wednesday! It is a time for individuals to 'Free Up' themselves, dress in costumes, dance in the streets from sun up to sun down and simply enjoy themselves!
