Caribbean Carnivals in 2024 by Day

Day by Day to Public Holidays for Caribbean Carnivals in 2024

The tradition of a Carnival in the Caribbean came with the colonials who arrived from Europe, particularly the Spanish and French. The modern Carnivals in Latin America and the Caribbean have been hugely influenced by customs brought by African slaves. The almost 'hiding away' European custom of wearing masks has been replaced by outgoing colorful and exuberant displays and parades. This guide shows which countries observe this holiday on each day in 2024. It also shows the name for the holiday in each country.
