Welcome

BOSTON CARNIVAL, not unlike other Trinidad Style carnivals across North America is laced with color, exotic costumes and mind blowing Soca music. It also enjoys the participation and support of many of the other Caribbean islands, which includes Jamaica, Barbados, Haiti, Guyana and many other Caribbean islands. In a survey we conducted in 2005 we learned several things which prompted us to form Boston Carnival Village, LLC. Its purposes is to seek funding for the band leaders and promote Boston carnival on the world stage.This is a formidable task, but achievable, and as we move forward, we believe that it is imperative that we document the history of Boston Carnival to make it easier for future leaders to take this cultural extravaganza to a higher level.

Our new feature is a Carnival Blog is all about the culture of Carnival. Stop by and give us your comments and suggestions. Your comments, suggestion can help imve the culture forward in a positive way and i look forward to hering from you soon.

We will be very involved in the Pan fraternity in Boston. In a few months we will be launching another photography exhibition entitled "Steelpan University" see our Village Billboard for times, dates and locations

The Steelpan was invented in the 1930 in Trindad and Tobago. Some of the innovaters are: Ellie Mannette, Len Boogsie Sharpe, Dr. Jit Samaroo and many others to learn more about the only new accoustic instrument invented in the 20th century. Take a look at these books on the Instrument.

Spotlight - We Carnival

Wendy Matthews -The future of our carnival lives within the youths coming up. They are the ones that will carry on our long lived traditions. Why is it important to get them involved? Well, it’s like the black cake and sweet bread recipes that we can’t remember because our parents forgot to write them down. Sooner or later we won’t have the things we remember most about our past.
