The heartbeat of Carnival is its music. From soca and calypso to the hypnotic steelpan sounds, the energy is contagious. Dances like the whine and "jump and wave" bring the streets to life. Don’t miss out on savoring local cuisine—indulge in jerk chicken, fried plantains, and rum-based cocktails. Many Carnival bands even offer all-inclusive food and drinks, elevating the celebration to an unforgettable feast.
