Parade Registration
South Carolina Caribbean Culture and Heritage, Inc invites you to participate in the 7th Annual Charleston Carifest Caribbean Carnival Festival and Street Parade as we celebrate the Caribbean culture and customs of the island of Jamaica.
“Play Mas” Caribbean Carnival is celebrated with a Carnival Street Parade sometimes referred to as a March.
Most of the islands in the Caribbean celebrate Carnival. The largest and most well-known celebration is held in Trinidad and Tobago. The Dominican Republic, Antigua, Aruba, Cayman Islands, Barbados, Haiti, Dominica, Grenada, Jamaica, Sint Maarten, Saint Lucia, Saint Kitts, Saint Thomas and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines are also known for lengthy carnival seasons and large celebrations. The parade floats include music trucks with dancers called masqueraders dressed in colourful costumes dancing behind the truck. This is a special time of fun and enjoyment traveling through downtown Charleston on the way to the park.
Anyone wanting to be a masquerader/reveler will need to purchase a costume. Costumes will be on display the end of March. Individual Registration Form will be available at the begining of April.
The Festival in the Park and the Carnival Street Parade will take place on Saturday, June 16, 2012 in Charleston SC. The Parade will meander through the streets of Charleston en-route to Brittle Bank Park.
