The story

Kayak Mas Dimanche Gras in Carriacou

Carriacou's Dimanche Gras closes the penultimate night of carnival week with a variety-show-style event combining costume presentation, music and calypso, following the Trinidadian carnival tradition of using the same name for an elaborate Carnival Sunday spectacular. It typically brings together champions from the week's earlier competitions in a more celebratory context ahead of the final J'ouvert and parade days.

Dimanche Gras closes out the penultimate night of Carriacou's carnival with a grand costumed show that traditionally blends kings and queens costume competition with music performance, following the Trinidadian carnival calendar's use of the same name for the elaborate Carnival Sunday spectacular held the night before J'ouvert and the final parade.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Unlike the week's earlier single-category competitions focused narrowly on music or costume, Dimanche Gras combines several strands, costume, music, calypso, into one extended variety-show evening, giving it a broader theatrical format distinct from the rest of Carriacou's carnival calendar

02

The mystery stays covered

Its name and format echo the Trinidadian carnival tradition of a grand Carnival Sunday spectacular, connecting Carriacou's version to a wider regional carnival vocabulary even as the island's own carnival dates now sit apart from the traditional pre-Lenten calendar
