The typical carnival group

leader generally dresses in

a very large and eye

catching costume. The

leader is then followed by

many others dressed in

similar colors but simpler

costumes.

This costume displays the

flag colors of Trinidad and

Tobago. In the center of the

costume is the coat of arms.

Some costumes in carnival

are so large that they must

be placed on wheels in order

for the person to move.

Carnival In Trinidad

Family and friends get

together to walk down

the streets for the

passing of Baby Jesus.

Carnival is

celebrated by

throwing water on

each other, by

dancing, and being

with family and

friends.

The burning of the

effigies at midnight

was to say goodbye to

the past and welcome

the new year with a

bang and new goals.
