pram the beoinnino of the century to today, however, the
Carnival has crown bidder and bi+10er. Todayz over a hundred
bands of masqueraders parade the city on the Monday and
Tuesday preceding Ash Wednesday. Manv of them comprise from
four hundred to over one thousand members of both se -es.
Occasionally, bands have gone from three to four thcusw-:nd..
Costumes, which sometimes cost hundreds of dollars, cover a
wide ranee of ancient and modern historical presentations,
topical events and people of other lands, artistic creations

Trinidad's Carnival is a great e:tperi0hCb. It has to be
seen to be believed.
The chief characteristic o+ Trinioad's Carnival is that it
is largely _pontaneous. In organi ed eventsi it ccmparFs
most favorably with celebrations in nhy part 0-F the world
and within recent years is being rococni:ed as the most
col or4ul and musical o`?' C'arni val celebrations held anvwhorel.
the fervor; the whole atmosphere of gaiety and abandon is
unique. The calypsoes, road marches, steelbands, "Jump -Ups"
and "leagoes"l as all other ingredients that add up to the
Trinidad Carnival.
The bin celebration is in port-of-Sptiin. Durino the
nine days before the actual Carnival days, the following
activities take place: the Children's Carnival Competition,
with the crownina of the Junior Carnival G!ueen; "Ole Mas"
Comoetitiono the steelband finals; the Javrces "Carnival

In Grooltlyn, New Yor?tt the merchants and venccrs have pro-
claimed the West Ind -man Carnival ll3v, the ce_t Lam`,,
of the year, It has been estimated that over C million
people participate in the event.
While statistics are not available for the other states
where Carnival is held, one can well imag:re the intense
participation by the West Indian population, and the
general public as a whole.
Without any fore -thought, one can well over 1 ool the accnafra c-
imnact of such an event. For example. South Florida has an
estimated West Indian population of 00,000 persons. If aE
of the population attend the planned ev=ant. spendino an
average of $5 per person; there will. be an immeciate injec-
tion of over $500,001) for the aa.y going to local business
persons.
The projections preclude the non -blest .Trrdian populatior.
whose interest in the celebration will definitely be
aroused. The economic Impact will be tremendous. 'rho
cultural e;:perience will be Lniightening and er.r:chIna.
