About Port of Spain
Port of Spain erupts into Carnival each February—a two-day explosion of steelpan music, feathered costumes, and jump-up dancing that rivals Rio. The city's Savannah park anchors the urban landscape, while the surrounding neighborhoods pulse with food vendors selling doubles, curry, and Caribbean fusion. The musical heritage runs so deep that steelpans were invented here from oil barrels.
