Parade of the Bands Grenada in St. George's
Grenada's Carnival Tuesday closes with the Parade of the Bands, when costumed mas bands built around months of design work process through St George's behind music trucks and sound systems. The carnival's most polished and photogenic single event, it draws the season's heaviest tourist and diaspora attendance as the visual climax of weeks of calypso, soca and steelpan competition.
