The sight of the elaborately decorated tadjahs making its way down the streets with the convoy of people and tassa drums have evolved from a solemn religious festival to a cultural experience.

This spectacular Hindu festival during which clay oil lamps are lit to symbolize the lifting of spiritual darkness and is a celebration of good over evil and light over darkness, is a favourite among locals that transcends religion, heritage and ethnicity.

Trinidad Carnival is the most immersive cultural experience in the Caribbean.  Visitors to the mega festival enjoy a multi-sensory experience that includes, beautiful costumes and designs, soca music, steelpan – invented in Trinidad, energy, dance, performance and food. It is truly the greatest show in the world.
