Antigua Carnival - Tuesday, 5 Aug 08

Every year Antigua is inundated with people from around the Caribbean (and some from even further) to celebrate Carnival. This is a time of huge parties, multiple parades, beauty queen pageants and continuous days and nights of celebrations.
As you can see, the "Grand Marshall" of the parade was dressed very, very colorful. The perfect beginning for what was to come.
There were numerous groups of dancers in a variety of vibrantly colored costumes.
The stilt-walkers did a great job as they made their way down the street and moving to the music.
Even the youngest participants were dressed in bright colors as they walked the parade route.
There seemed to be no end to the dancers, costumes, displays, music etc! I can only imagine how crazy the atmosphere became once evening set in!
