It's last day of Grenada carnival 20224 and the spectacle today is the grand parade of floats and dancers in costumes with music trucks and plenty of libations to keep the party flowing. The advertised start time is early afternoon with the first trucks expected to pass the entrance to the marina at 2pm. Two hours later we have had a dozen groups pass slowly -there was a one hour stop for lunch break for the artists.
I walked a mile along the route to the main Carenage people watching, having a look at the many, many food stalls and bars set up on each side of the road. It's family party day with Mum and Dad in their deck chairs, kids with soap bubble guns and getting sticky with candy floss in their hair.
Not a lot of parading was happening but I took photos and slowly walked back to the marina. The party kicked off as the sun was setting and what a party. I think everyone who lives on the island took part. A glorious, joyful explosion of colour for the Carnival.
