Being largely off the tourist track means that the approximately 6,000 inhabitants

live their lives un-self-consciously, fishing and farming, sustained by the natural

beauty of bounteous vegetation, the strength of family and the survival of African

and colonial ritual and myth undiluted by tourists' tastes and inclinations.

The nutrient rich Guyana current flows over Grenada and Carriacou’s volcanic

coastlines, contributing to a healthy and varied coral reef environment that has few

equals in the Caribbean.

The largest island in the Grenadines and officially part of Grenada, Carriacou has

forest-covered hills that roll down to immaculate beaches. Its name means 'land of

the reefs', and it is surrounded by great snorkelling spots. The ruins of sugar mills

are dotted all over the island. The capital and biggest settlement, Hillsborough,

dates back to the 18th century, when the naval commander Sir Ralph Abercromby

set up camp here in order to attack the Spanish in the Americas. Today, you'll find

guesthouses, restaurants, bars, a supermarket, a bank and a dive shop.

There are five annual festivals onCarriacou


Carnival is a pre-Lenten celebration starting the weekend before Ash Wednesday. A

lively calypso competition, Demarche Gras, a lively calypso competition, lasts until

the wee hours of Jouvert Morning, where everyone spills out onto the streets to

dance and celebrate. On Monday, the Parade of the Bands features Mas Players

sporting colourful costumes with imaginative themes, accompanied by rhythmic

Soca music. The Shakespeare Mas is an event that is unique to Carriacou and is a

must see on Tuesday morning. The Mas men wear colourful harlequin costumes,

recites lines from Shakespeare stories and begin in the village of Mt. Pleasant.

Parang: Is a song festival, which comes to life the weekend prior to Christmas. Based

on local gossip, songs are dressed in each string band's unique style and

competition during this three day festival; it is usually brisk and raucous. Bands vie

for first place, with cleverly composed ditties highlighting the antics of local

characters.


Maroon & String Band Music Festival: held the last weekend in April, was conceived

out of a need to provide a platform for showcasing Carriacouan customs and

traditions and also to promote string band musicians and other musical expressions.

Maroon culture is about thanksgiving and offering prayers to the source of all life,

production and prosperity.

Its African origins are authentically depicted through the drumming, singing, eating

of ‘smoke food’ and other rituals practiced by the local people. This aspect of the

festival is a celebration of the rich cultural traditions, and the important values of

sharing, unity and community self-help.

String band music is very popular on Carriacou and has historically been a main

source of entertainment at social functions.


Regatta Festival: This fun filled three-day festival usually occurs the first weekend in

August. The Carriacou Regatta celebrated its 48th anniversary in 2013 reflecting the

importance and devotion of our people to seamanship and boat building. Started

in 1965 as a local work boat race, the Carriacou Regatta has evolved into a major

Caribbean event, now augmented by shore side activities such as donkey-racing,

walking the greasy-pole, bicycle-race, drinking competitions, Miss Aquaval pageant

and evening-entertainment of all sorts.

Windward Cup Regatta: Held in the boat building village of Windward in mid-

August, this event was started in 2001. It features locally built Stern boats, Double

Enders, Model boats, large and small deck sloops. There is also a junior class

featuring Lasers and Optimists to encourage the future generation of sailors.


The Grenadine Islands, located in the southern part of the Caribbean between St.

Vincent and Grenada, are some of the most archaeologically and culturally rich in

the Lesser Antilles.

Carriacou lies approximately 200 km north of Venezuela and 30 km north of

Grenada. It is the largest island in the Grenadines, measuring 10.4 km at its widest

point, and is roughly 32 sq km in area. Along with Petite Martinique, Carriacou is

one of three islands that are politically part of Grenada. Grenada is a constitutional

monarchy with The Queen as Sovereign.
