One of the most significant and beautiful carnivals of the Caribbean is definitely the annual carnival of Trinidad.
The preparations start long before the carnival's start.
The carnival is a happy folklore event, but beside, it is a competitive event. Various groups compete on the first place in various categories like; the queen of the carnival, the Calypsos and Soca queens and kings, etc...
The Calypsos and Soca music is heard all over the place, the colorful cloths and the festive atmosphere mixed with large amounts of alcohol (mainly local rum), are guaranty for a genuine folklore fiesta.
All of these sweep away the celebrators, locals and tourists, to dance until they collapse it promises an unforgettable experience.
