Trinidad and Tobago Carnival is an annual event celebrated on the Monday and Tuesday before Ash Wednesday. A major component of carnival is Jouvert and it is also said to have been created in Trinidad. – Jouvert is a large street party that takes place at the break of dawn and many of the participants wear costumes depicting characters of the day, many designed by the masqueraders themselves.

Boston’s Trinidad style carnival follows those traditions and on Saturday, August 25 at about 6:00 AM there is also a Jouvert component and Boston Carnival Village is taking it a step further by launching its annual “Jouvert Boat Cruise Face Mask II” on Friday at 12:00 midnight for that authentic flavor.
