Downtown Carnival Celebrations

Traditional mas characters like Blue Devils, Baby Doll, Midnight Robber, Dame Lorraine, Fancy Sailors and Bookman along with masqueraders from Robert and Sharon Amar's 2013 Carnival presentation CHARM and Ronnie and Caro's Mystery of the Cascadura got the jump all last Friday.

The masqueraders were the first to hit the road for Carnival 2013 as they danced and pranced along Frederick Street in Port of Spain for the launch of the Downtown Carnival celebrations. Two music trucks provided blaring soca music for the masqueraders to enjoy themselves.

Of course the Carib girls and truck was on hand providing spectators with a few drinks and giveaways.
