Grenada celebrates Spicemas 2026 carnival
Grenada celebrated Spicemas 2026, featuring the traditional Carnival Tuesday festivities known for elaborate feathered costumes and vibrant music.
The celebration includes the historic J’ouvert tradition, specifically the Jab Jabi, which traces its roots back to 1834 following the end of enslavement in the English-speaking Caribbean. During this ritual, masqueraders traditionally cover themselves in substances such as black oil, charcoal, or molasses to symbolize resistance and freedom.
Notable attendees included Grenadian Yvette Noel Schure and Beyoncé’s publicist, who wore custom designs by Chow Chung.
