Trinidad Carnival takes place on 3rd and 4th March 2003 but carnival activities begin long before with steel pan and calypso competitions and each masquerade band, some of which have 3000 to 4000 participants, has its own 'band launch fete' to promote their own carnival costumes. Divali - Festival of Lights Deepavali in Sanskrit meaning row of lighted lamps,is a Hindu festival which usually from the last week of October to the first half of November. The Festival signifies the triumph of light over darkness, good over evil. Thousands of tiny clay pots called deyas each with a lighted candle wick are filled with oil and arranged in intricate patterns, usually on split bamboo branches and at each corner of the home. Hosay Usually in the first half of the year between March and June, this begins after a 40-day fast. The event commemorates the martyrdom of the Muslim brothers Hussein and Hassan, grandsons of Mohammed the prophet. The lively three-day street procession combines tassa drumming, dancing and the carrying of tadjahs, (elaborately decorated replicas of Hussein's tomb), which are eventually cast into the sea. Competitions in drumming are held between rival Hosay groups.This festival takes place in St. James, which is about ten minutes walk away from The Gingerbread House. Bird Watching, Ecotours. Because of our island's geographical connection with Venezuela, our flora and fauna are both Caribbean and South American. Over 430 species of birds can be found in these small islands as well as a wide variety of wild orchids and bromeliads.
