I need to thank the Dutch Soca Lovers for posting this information about carnivals from around the world.

I know that all true Carnivalist will appreciate this. There are some 53 carnivals between now and the end of the year globally. That is a lot of wining in the street.

It does highlight that although soca is a small niche it has a very wide reach!

If you know of any carnivals which are not on this list please add them in the comment area below.
