Last-Minute Supplies for Carnival
February is not only the month of love but also the month of celebrations for many nations in the Caribbean, Central, and South America. Carnival is quickly approaching, and many of us are preparing for non-stop fête, soca music, and costumes adjourned with feathers and jewels. Carnival is a massive celebration for countries like Brazil and Trinidad & Tobago and is a celebration of freedom throughout the Caribbean and West Indies.
Carnival was created by enslaved Africans in the 18th century when French settlers brought the Fat Tuesday Masquerade to the islands, and it grew to extraordinary heights after emancipation, making Carnival a unique festival loved by all. Celebrating Carnival takes a lot of preparation, but we know last-minute purchases can help prepare you for a jolly experience. MyUS Shopping can help you find all last-minute items for the experienced masquerader or first-time attendees.
