Today you will rise early for the Many revellers begin their Carnival marathon at the Dimarche Gras Show and continue straight into the J’ouvert celebrations, where in the early hours of Monday morning, the traditional Jab-Jab or Devil Mas bands emerge from the darkness of the night to parade freely through the town. “Blackened with stale molasses, tar, grease, creosote or mud, and wearing little more than their horned helmets, these masqueraders in previous times set out to terrify onlookers with their grotesque appearance and repulsive dances. In modern times, the traditional Jab-Molassi have mutated into other creatures of color, with Blue, Yellow, and Green Devils joining in the early morning parade. These colorful devils are much more playful in character, wanting only to dab a bit of their body paint onto unsuspecting bystanders, as they dance through the streets to the rhythms of the accompanying drums, steel bands, and calypsos from huge DJ trucks.

At Night a parade of lights is held on Carnival Monday Night where spectators gather on the streets of St. George’s waiting to be entertained by thousands of masqueraders enjoying themselves whilst chipping down the streets to some of the local Soca music, in their neon and brightly colored garments and lighting instruments.
