Held at the traditional pre-Lenten time, it involves two days of 'jump-up' in Roseau and other villages as well as parades, Calypso and Carnival Queen contests.

Carnival starts with a grand opening parade and includes events such as Pan By the Bay, a Carnival Queen show, the Calypso Monarch Show and the two days of traditional jump-up - Carnival Monday & Carnival Tuesday.

On Ash Wednesday, there is also 'Vaval' - the closing of Carnival, held in the village of Dublanc and in the Kalinago Territory.

Note that Carnival activities start about one month before Carnival Monday/Tuesday.
