If carnival is an art, Haiti is one of the great masters. In the last few years, the annual fete has been held in a different city each year, and this year’s edition came to Gonaives in northern Haiti. Take our Caribbean Carnival tour through the sights of Haiti’s City of Independence.
Gonaives, which has a population of more than 300,000, is one of the cradles of Haitian history, the birthplace of its independence.
