a187: re: a184: Date for Carnival in 2002? (fwd)
From: Alexander Newton <anewton@usaid.gov>
The date for Carnival is Tuesday February 12, but the much more interesting,
festive and safer carnival is the special one in Jacmel, which always happens
9 days earlier, i.e. Sunday February 3 this year. It starts around noon on
Sunday and goes on until the wee hours of Monday morning. Groups with
fabulous papermache masks, streets packed with relatively well-mannered
celebrators.
