Holidaymakers looking for the tropical break of a lifetime should head to
the Caribbean for one of the region's most popular carnivals.
The Vincy Mas carnival on the island of
St Vincent takes place between June 29th and July 10th, offering a host of spectacular parties, parades and shows throughout.
Visitors to
the Caribbean will be able to see the biggest beauty pageant in the region in the form of the Miss Carnival contest, as well as a fascinating opening event involving devil-costumed carnival-goers traipsing around the streets of the island just before dawn.
Elsewhere, a host of talented bands will be playing throughout the event, with special mini-carnivals for younger revellers.
The carnival reaches its climax with the colourful Mardi Gras celebrations on the last day of the festivities, with parade participants decking themselves in all manner of costumes for the amusement of the spectators lining the streets of St Vincent.

Vincy Mas website.
