Spicemas comes to NYC

The Grenada Tourism Authority (GTA) said on Thursday that it has partnered with The Spicemas Corporation to give New Yorkers a taste of its beloved carnival, Spicemas.

GTA said that, on Sunday, May 7, 2023, Grenada will host an “experiential” Spicemas launch event at Brooklyn’s Crown Hill Theater, 750 Nostrand Ave., Brooklyn, NY 11216, 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., “to showcase the energy that only a carnival fete can deliver.”

“The one-night event will provide attendees with an authentic cultural experience, including feature performances from some of Grenada’s top artists including Lil Natty & Thunda, Lil Kerry, V’GHN, Scholar, Scholar, Cryave, Skinny Banton, Alma Boy, Zingo, Inspector and Kush,” GTA said.

“Traditional and fancy forms of masquerade will be represented and a dazzling spectacle of traditional Spicemas costumes will be on display,” it added. “Attendees will also have a chance to taste the destination’s mouthwatering cuisine and learn more about attending Spicemas in Grenada.”

GTA CEO Petra Roach said Spicemas continues to grow in popularity with carnival slayers across the world.

“This NYC launch event will be an all-immersive event that showcases authentic Grenadian culture at its best and provides a teaser to the city that never sleeps for what is to come in August,” she said. “Playing Spice Mas is definitely a must for your bucket-list.”

“We are thrilled to bring a teaser of this epic event to New York to share the excitement and energy that one can experience at Spicemas in Grenada,” said Cecil Noel, CEO of the Spicemas Corporation.

GTA said Grenada, known as the “Spice Isle of the Caribbean”, names its annual carnival Spicemas as a nod to the island’s production of the most spices per square mile in the Caribbean region.

“As Grenada’s marquee event, Spicemas showcases a variety of colorful and immersive week-long activities that reflect the destination’s African, French, British and Caribbean heritage,” GTA said.

It said this year’s Spicemas in Grenada, taking place Aug. 1-15, 2023, will feature new compliments and concepts different from previous years.
