Dominica’s carnival on Monday and Tuesday

Mas Domnik, Dominica’s Carnival, held at the traditional pre-lenten time, is a feast of calypso, shows and two exciting days of street jump-up. Carnival is formally opened about a month before the two final days of jump-up which will be held this year on Monday and Tuesday.
