Trinidad Carnival 2024 is right around the corner – and I couldn’t be more excited! Fete lineup, accommodations, transportation, and costume payments sorted (fingers crossed)? Now, let’s get into the fun part – what to pack for the Greatest Show on Earth!

Ah, I will always remember my first Trinidad Carnival – life-changing doesn’t even begin to describe it! This is the best Caribbean carnival that’s all about celebrating life, culture, music, vibes, and pure bacchanal. Hindsight is a funny thing; back then, I had no idea what to expect and just followed along with my Feteran friends (experienced carnival goers). Having been to multiple Trinidad Carnivals now, it feels only right to share helpful tips before you touch down in the Mecca, a.k.a. the greatest show on earth – Trinidad Carnival!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! No, I am not talking about Christmas; I am talking about the mecca, the greatest show on earth, a.k .a. Trinidad Carnival! As Trinidad Carnival 2024 approaches, it’s time to gear up for fetes (parties), nonstop bacchanal, events, and a celebration of life that comes with little sleep!
