Carribean festival

Calling all adventure-seekers! Dive into the vibrant world of the Carnival of Brazil - the ultimate party that will leave you breathless!

Moko jumbies at dockside, St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. The eye-catching art of stilt dancing came to the Caribbean with enslaved West Africans, who brought their indigenous religions, folklore and festivities from home. In African villages, the 'moko' was the spiritual guardian and healer, towering high enough to reach any evil spirits and drive them away. Jumbies groove to the rhythm of African drums with lively choreography that combines dancing and acrobatics. © JAOS, 2014

Barbados' harvest festival is a non-stop, week-long party that culminates in one of the most jaw-dropping parades you've ever seen.

From Abaco in the north to Aruba in the south, the Caribbean abounds in festivals and fun this year. Here's a sampling of the events awaiting visitors through July.

In July and August the Caribbean is still reliably hot, there are flamboyant festivals - and there are deals with meal-plan offers, free places for children and discounts of up to 50 per cent.

Kamalame Cay, Fowl Cay, and other Bahamas private islands travelers can visit for a vacation without the crowds.
