The St.
Maarten Carnival is celebrated every year on the island and lasts for
weeks! In fact there are two carnivals
on the island, with the smaller of the two celebrated before Lent on the French
side. The largest St. Maarten Carnival
takes place on the Dutch side starting in April and the main parade is dedicated to the Queen of
the Netherlands. The biggest event of the entire Carnival is
the grand carnival parade which hosts a huge variety of floats, music and
costumes and lasts 4 to 5 hours. Some of
these costumes and floats have been in the making for an entire year! We have never been to Carnival before and
this was quite an experience not to be missed!
We had hundreds of pictures and just couldn’t decide which to post, so
please enjoy the best!
