Grand Carnival Parade Sint Maarten 2019 In Photos

50 years of Carnival Celebrations Day One.

Sint Maarten/Saint Martin experienced a catastrophic hurricane not too long ago on September 6th, 2017. The island is still in recovery but blooming and rebuilding. Above all, the people are vibrant and festive and full of life, as can be seen by the energy and love shown from this year's Grand Carnival Parade (Dutch side - Sint Maarten)

The Grand Carnival Parade takes place on April 30th and May 1st annually. Each year is very different, I try to capture the best moments and the energy through images. Enjoy.
