Indigenous culture

Grenada's culture is immensely rich, and the island's numerous historic monuments and events provide tourists an insight into Grenada customs. The Spicemas Grenada Carnival, which has its height every year in August but launches parties and events start as early as April, is one of the most significant events of the year.

The atmosphere of this vibrant and colorful event is made up of street dances, soca concerts, and expensive attire. A second, more intimate carnival is also held around the start of Lent. This one takes place on the little island of Carriacou. In addition to these, there are a variety of music festivals hosted throughout the year, including the Carriacou Parang Festival and the Drum Festival, as well as sailing and fishing competitions and the Grenada Chocolate Festival, which is held every May.

The historic places can be visited in the meantime by those who want a more leisurely introduction to Grenadan culture. The Belmont Estate, which offers a taste of Grenada's history and culture, and Fort Frederick, which also provides a breathtaking perspective of St. George's, are two of the country's most important historic sites. For a true blend of history and enjoyment, you may also check out the River Antoine Rum Distillery.
