Caribbean carnivals have a long and rich history. They originated in the 18th century, when enslaved Africans were given a few days off to celebrate before the start of Lent. Over time, these celebrations evolved into the vibrant and colorful carnivals that we know today. Caribbean carnivals are a celebration of culture, heritage, and freedom. They are a time for people to come together and enjoy music, dance, and food.
