Kiddies Carnival

My home, Trinidad and Tobago celebrates for 2 days in the streets for Carnival. Everyone, big and small, young and old, joins together in the streets to sing, dance and celebrate in culture and unity. Kiddies Carnival happens over a few different days but the main parade takes place on the Saturday prior to Carnival Monday and Tuesday! Hope you enjoy my countries beautiful talent, people and culture! 🙂
