Carriacou Panrang Festival

Maybe you're planning a trip to another Caribbean island, or maybe you just want to get away from the bitter winter weather. If that's the case, now is the best time to visit the gorgeous island of Carriacou for the annual Carriacou Parang Festival. Carriacou's rich traditional culture includes the Big Drum, Quadrille Dancing, Shakespeare Mass, Tombstone Feast, and so forth. The Annual Carriacou Parang Festival, on the other hand, is an important part of Carriacou's culture that everyone should see at least once. Every year in December, during the weekend surrounding Christmas Day, December 25th, the festival attracts hundreds of visitors from all around the region.

Traditional culture abounds in Carriacou, with African Big Drum, Quadrille Dancing, Shakespeare Mas, and so on. Some of these components are combined with traditional Christmas carols at the Parang Festival. Parang bands compete against each other for awards and bragging rights by performing comical songs about events on the island over the previous year, which is one of the event's unique elements.
