Grenada’s Spicemas is Carnival at its most authentic — a celebration rooted in tradition, alive with color, and unlike anything else in the Caribbean. Before the bigger carnivals were commercialized, Spicemas was already happening: Jab Jab in the streets, revelry on every corner and the smell of nutmeg and spice in the air.

Monday Night Mas is the moment that defines it. As the sun goes down and the lights come up on St. George’s, the island becomes something else entirely — excitement, music, and the warmth of a community that has been celebrating like this for generations. It’s intimate. It’s real. And it belongs to you.

With your EBA ambassadors handling every detail — from your beachfront all-inclusive villa to your frontline costume to your island spice tour — all you have to do is arrive and let Grenada do the rest.

Every detail of your Ultimate Spicemas experience is built around one promise — Handled Freedom. You prepare with us. We guide you through every moment. And then you’re simply free to live it.

Spicemas is Grenada’s Carnival — and it is in a category of its own.

Named for the spices that built this island’s identity, Spicemas is a celebration rooted in Grenadian history, resistance, and culture. While other Caribbean Carnivals have grown into large international spectacles, Spicemas has stayed true to what it has always been — intimate, authentic, and deeply, unapologetically Grenadian.

What makes it distinct: Grenada’s J’ouvert is widely regarded as one of the purest in the Caribbean — the Jab Jab tradition, the oil, the pre-dawn energy in the streets of St. George’s. Monday Night Mas turns the island into something cinematic and luminous as the sun goes down. And Carnival Tuesday brings the Parade of the Bands in full feathered, sequined glory alongside traditional mas characters — Moko Jumbies on stilts, Vieux Corps in their painted masks — that you won’t see at any other Carnival in the world.

If Trinidad Carnival is the original and Barbados Crop Over is the one that ends at the beach, Spicemas is the one that gets under your skin and stays there. Our Fram-a-lay come back year after year — and they always say the same thing: they didn’t expect to love Grenada this much.

Jab Jab is one of the oldest and most distinctive traditions in Grenadian Carnival — and if you’ve seen the videos of oil-covered revellers moving through the streets before sunrise, that’s exactly what it is.

The word “Jab Jab” comes from the French Creole “Diable Diable” meaning devil, and the tradition traces its roots to the emancipation of enslaved Africans in Grenada. Masqueraders blacken their bodies with old engine oil, molasses, ashes or grease, don horned helmets, and take to the streets in the early hours of Carnival Monday to celebrate freedom, resistance, and Grenadian identity. It is not associated with devil worship — it is one of the most powerful cultural expressions in the Caribbean, and Grenadians are generous in welcoming you to experience it with them.

As part of your Ultimate Spicemas experience, your EBA ambassador team takes you through the full J’ouvert Morning — from the first sound of the conch shell to the moment you finally head back to the villa. Wear clothes you don’t mind parting with, bring your open heart, and prepare for a morning you’ll be talking about for years.

Monday Night Mas is the signature Spicemas experience — and it is the moment that defines your entire week.

As the sun begins to set over St. George’s on Carnival Monday, the island transforms. Mas bands take to the streets with music trucks and the energy builds with every block. Then the lights come on — and everything changes. Monday Night Mas is renowned for its spectacular lighting experience: masqueraders carry and wear illuminated accessories, light-up props, and glowing costume elements that turn the streets of St. George’s into something completely magical. The city comes alive in colour and light in a way that is entirely its own — and there is nowhere else in the Caribbean Carnival world where this happens quite like this.

Monday Night Mas is intimate in the way that only a smaller island can be — you’re not in a crowd of strangers, you’re part of a community that has been doing this for generations. Your EBA ambassador team is with you for the full experience — logistics handled, positions secured, every detail sorted so you can simply be present for one of the most cinematic, luminous moments in Caribbean Carnival. Bring your Carnival spirit and wear something you love — the night is yours.

Carnival Tuesday is the grand finale of Spicemas — the Parade of the Bands, where the full costume experience takes centre stage.

The difference between the two days is significant and worth understanding before you pack. On Monday Night Mas, the magic is in the lights. Masqueraders carry illuminated accessories, glowing props, and light-up items that transform the streets of St. George’s after dark — it’s a spectacular, one-of-a-kind experience that Spicemas is known for throughout the Caribbean Carnival world. The energy is electric, festive, and luminous from start to finish.

On Carnival Tuesday, everything steps up into full daylight splendour. This is the day you’re in your frontline costume — feathers, sequins, beading — parading through the streets of St. George’s alongside other mas bands while the city celebrates around you. Carnival Tuesday also features traditional Spicemas characters sharing the road — Moko Jumbies towering on stilts, Vieux Corps in their painted masks, Shortknee revellers in polka-dotted costumes — giving the parade a cultural depth that is unique to Grenada.

This is the day of The Spicemas Shine, your Carnivalista Transformation, your US Paparazzi photoshoot, and the parade you came to Grenada for.

The Spicemas Shine is our Carnivalista Transformation for Carnival Tuesday — and it is the moment your Spicemas week builds toward.

On Carnival Tuesday, your EBA team has you completely covered before you step foot on the road. A professional makeup artist gets your glam on point with services tailored for a full day of parade in the Grenadian heat. Your EBA ambassadors help you into every piece of your frontline costume — until you are completely, undeniably ready. Then our US Paparazzi team is already waiting to capture you in your full Carnival glory.

This is not a quick touch-up. This is the moment you become your Spicemas self — and Grenada has a way of making that feel like the most natural thing in the world.

Your frontline costume is fully included in your 7-night Premium Experience — and your EBA team handles every detail of it, in partnership with Vibe Mas, one of Grenada’s celebrated mas bands.

Vibe Mas is an all-inclusive mas band, which means your costume experience comes with food and drinks on the road throughout Carnival Tuesday — you’re fueled and celebrating from the first step to the last. Your EBA team handles the ordering, coordination, collection, delivery, and a personalized fitting so every piece is in place before parade day. If anything needs adjusting, we handle the exchanges.

On the road, your EBA ambassadors maintain mobile rest stations throughout the parade so you’re never far from water, snacks, and support. Frontline placement means you’re at the front of your section — the best energy, the full experience of pretty mas, and the confidence of knowing your EBA team is right there with you every step of the way.

Grenada earned the name Isle of Spice for good reason — nutmeg even appears on the national flag, a constant reminder of the spice that has shaped the island’s history and economy — and your Ultimate Spicemas experience includes a curated island spice tour that brings that identity to life.

You’ll visit spice plantations and gardens where nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, turmeric, and vanilla grow in the rich Grenadian soil — smelling and tasting fresh spices, learning how each one is harvested, cracked open, and dried under the sun, and understanding their uses in Grenadian cuisine, health, and everyday life. It’s part cultural education, part sensory experience, and entirely, authentically Grenadian.

Your EBA ambassador team handles the transportation, the coordination, and every detail of the tour — you simply show up, breathe in the spice-scented air, and let Grenada do what it does best.

Your Ultimate Spicemas accommodation is a luxury beachfront all-inclusive villa — steps from the Caribbean Sea, with the kind of setting that makes the rest of the world feel very far away.

All-inclusive means your meals, drinks, and resort amenities are handled from the moment you arrive — there’s no running tab, no budgeting for daily expenses, no wondering what’s covered. You wake up right at the beach, and your day begins on your terms.

This is also where your soca star meet and greet takes place. Where your EBA ambassadors welcome you on arrival. Where your Fram-a-lay gathers between events to reflect, laugh, and recover before the next unforgettable moment. The villa is not just accommodation — it’s the home base that makes the entire Spicemas week feel grounded, luxurious, and completely handled.

Full villa details will be confirmed and updated on this page ahead of registration opening for Ultimate Spicemas 2027. Join our mailing list to be first to know.

Absolutely — and Spicemas is one of those experiences where the more you understand going in, the more you feel it when you’re there.

Your Ultimate Spicemas experience includes access to our exclusive Carnivalista Lifestyle Community client portal — your home base for everything EBA, where you’ll find cultural guides, trip resources, and a growing library of content that prepares you for every dimension of the Spicemas experience. You’ll also have access to our members-only webinars, which begin months before you travel and cover the rich cultural history of Grenada Carnival — the traditions of Jab Jab, the significance of Monday Night Mas, the food, the music, and what to expect on every day of your trip.

Our private WhatsApp Community Forum is where your Fram-a-lay connects, asks questions, and starts building friendships long before anyone boards a plane.

And when you arrive in Grenada, you’ll find exactly what every member of our Fram-a-lay discovers: Grenadians are among the warmest, most generous people in the Caribbean. They are proud of Spicemas and they want you to feel it the way they do. Come with an open heart — that’s all you need.

Absolutely — and some of our most treasured Fram-a-lay friendships started exactly this way.

We’ve matched solo travellers with roommates for years, and more often than not those roommates leave Barbados as lifelong friends. Here’s how it works: when we have two people looking for a roommate, we introduce you both by email so you can connect — whether that’s a phone call, a video chat, or even meeting up if you happen to be in the same city.

Roommates share accommodation under our double occupancy pricing. If you’d prefer your own private space, our single occupancy option is available — just ask about the single supplement when you book your Dream Carnival Call.

Ultimate Spicemas 2026 has officially sold out — and 2027 is already in the works for our Fram-a-lay.

We’re putting the finishing touches on the Ultimate Spicemas 2027 package — the accommodation, the full itinerary, and every detail that makes this experience worth crossing an ocean for. We want to get it right before we open registration, and when we do, our mailing list community gets first access before anything goes public.

Join our mailing list below and you’ll be the first to know when Ultimate Spicemas 2027 opens — and trust us, you don’t want to miss this one. Grenada has a way of becoming your favourite Carnival.

“The thing I liked best about traveling with the team was knowing that everything was already taken care of. I never had to worry about how I would get to an event or what I would be doing that day. Being able to experience my first Carnival without having to stress about anything was amazing — because of this experience, I will definitely be playing mas at more Carnivals.”
