Carnival
Carnivals as we know them today began in the 18th century when the French colonials brought masquerade balls called fetes. Enslaved Africans were not allowed to attend these celebrations so they held their own parties called canboulay. During canboulay celebrations, enslaved Africans would mock the behaviour and outfits of those at masquerade balls, which led to the creation of the ‘Mas’.
‘Playing Mas’ means to join in! When celebrating carnival in Trinidad and Tobago, you can either be a spectator of the parades or you can join in.
