I've never been able to understand what this 'carnival' is all about; it has always seemed to be about black people demonstrating their ethnicity, (very big deal!)
The word, 'Carnival' comes from the old Italian carnelevare a removing of meat (referring to the Lenten fast). I fails to see any religious connotations.
What exactly is being celebrated here, ?

KHANDRO, from Wikipedia,
'Carnival therefore represented a last period of feasting and celebration before the spiritual rigors of Lent." Meat was plentiful during this part of the Christian calendar and it was consumed during Carnival as people abstained from meat consumption during the following liturgical season, Lent.'

From the OED,
"1950 Oxf. Junior Encycl. IX. 114/2 We now use the word ‘carnival’ in a general sense to describe a particular kind of public celebration or entertainment which includes a fancy dress procession through the streets.
1950 Oxf. Junior Encycl. IX. 115/1 During the summer holiday season,..seaside resorts sometimes arrange imitations of the continental carnival, the main feature being a beauty competition for the election of the Carnival Queen."

Guess it reverted back to normal quite quickly.
