Grenada and the surrounding islands boast an ever-increasing range of festivals and cultural events throughout the year.

Carnivals and Festivals Grenada style

The week-long Grenada Carnival in August is a real highlight in the calendar. Spectacular costumes, steel bands, and pulsating calypso can be seen and heard right across the island, with the streets of St George’s the focus for much of the action.
