The carnival performers are primarily mixed-race, or colored people and the carnival began in the early 19th century when slave bands played friendly competition during the annual Jan. 2 slave holiday. The parade has become a popular tourist attraction and the colorful floats are competing at a local stadium for days for the best costumes and performances..©Per-Anders Pettersson/ iAfrika Photos.."
