Grenada Carnival Parade of Bands August 15

On Saturday, August 15, we returned to St Georges to watch the Parade of Bands, the finale of Carnival. Words do no justice. No wonder they did not want to parade in the rain. Here are a bunch of pictures.

It was great fun to dash in and out amongst the paraders, who never stood still long enough to get a shot unless you asked, and then they'd strike a pose....



































































































Just when I think it can't get any better, along comes my favorite. One theme of the parade was emotions. This red troupe represented "anger". This lady was anything but...the prettiest smile and so nice. Isn't she just beautiful??










All ages participate. Go, Gramms, Go!! Flapped her wings for me and everything...
