Discover our "Grenada Spicemas 2025: Playing Jab" group travel adventure. Grenada Spicemas is the heart and soul of Caribbean culture, a vibrant and dynamic celebration deeply rooted in the island's rich history and traditions. Known as the "Carnival of the Spice Isle," Spicemas encapsulates Grenada's unique identity as the world’s leading producer of nutmeg and other spices. The festivities date back to pre-emancipation times, evolving from French and African influences into a uniquely Grenadian cultural experience. The carnival peaks in early August, culminating in spectacular parades, high-energy street parties, and the iconic J’ouvert, where revelers embrace the spirit of "Playing Jab" with oil, paint, and powder.
