The fight for Carnival

The annual re-enactment of this battle, which took place last Friday contained its usual elements of stickfighting, flambeaux, African drumming, tamboo bamboo, a parade of traditional Carnival characters and the story of the riots of 1881. Piccadilly Street, Portof- Spain, burned alive with history.

Here are some memories of what this year’s re-enactment of the Canboulay riots looked like.
