CARNIVAL FROLIC – KIDDIES CARNIVAL
T
he future of Grenada’s Carnival rests on the shoulders of the young ones, so it is only fair to ensure they are involved and develop a better understanding of the narrative associated with it. Children’s Carnival Frolic, usually held a few days before the adult festivities, is a festival designed for the younger generation of Grenada, ranging from the ages 3 to 16. It embeds all the elements of Mas and pageantry, explicitly intended to facilitate the kids. It allows them their time to thrive and enjoy themselves without the overcrowding of the adults. However, there is a considerable amount of work to be completed to achieve holistic involvement of the youngsters, during the entire Carnival season and not just parading within a band during Pretty Mas.
