  • Tuesday ( Fancy Mas) - 10AM - 11PM

Every Band Goes On The Road At Different Time But This Is Typically The Time The First Band Heads On The Road

Jouvert Prep

  • Carry A Wash Cloth & Some Dawn Liquid Soap With You

  • Catch A Water Taxi At The End Of The Road To Grand Anse Beach To Wash Off

  • Make Sure To Bring A Waterproof Case For Your Phone

  • Put Money Or Any Valuables In Two Ziplock Bags ( I Recommend Maybe Just Carry Vex Money)

Transportation

There Are Tons Of Drivers In Grenada Try To Ask Your Air BnB Host Or Hotel Front Desk For Reccomdenations

Grenada Also Has A Rideshare App Called Halyup

The Simply Answer Is Yes!! Grenada Has A Vibe That Is Simply Untouched The Aspect Of Being On The Road 4 Times In 48 Hours Left You Completely Fulfilled & Don’t Let Me Get Into JAB! The Country Has A Culture That Is Truly Like No Other & It’s Definitely Strongly Felt In Their J’ouvert! Grenada Definitely Has The Best Mas By Far!
