Antigua & Barbuda’s Carnival, held annually in late July to early August, is a cultural extravaganza marking the abolition of slavery. The festival features vibrant street parades with intricately designed costumes, pulsating soca and calypso music, and high-energy events like the J’ouvert morning jump-up and Panorama steel drum competition. The week culminates with Carnival Monday and Tuesday, where the streets come alive with a kaleidoscope of color and rhythm. Visitors can immerse themselves in the festivities, savoring local cuisine, dancing alongside revelers, and experiencing the island’s rich heritage. It’s an unforgettable celebration of freedom, unity, and Caribbean spirit.
