Carnival in Grenada, known locally as Spicemas, is a vibrant and culturally rich event that typically occurs in August. The second day of Carnival, often on a Tuesday, is one of the grandest parts of the festivities.
The origins of Grenada's Carnival can be traced back to African, French, and British cultural traditions. It has evolved over time to include elements such as Calypso music, steel pan bands, and the unique sounds of Soca.
On the second day of Carnival, also known as "Pretty Mas," revelers dress in colorful and elaborate costumes adorned with feathers and sequins. They take to the streets for the Parade of the Bands, where various groups compete for titles based on their costumes and performances.
Dance troupes and masqueraders perform energetically to the rhythms of Soca music throughout the day. This day is characterized by joyous celebration with participants often covered in paint, oil or powder as part of "J'ouvert" which transitions into the daytime parade.
Participants indulge in local foods and drinks while enjoying live music from popular bands and artists. The atmosphere is filled with a sense of unity as both locals and tourists join together in celebration.
The second day's festivities end with the crowning of the King and Queen of Carnival who are chosen based on their costumes' creativity and splendor. The day is a significant tourist attraction bringing people from all over to experience Grenadian culture at its most exuberant.
