CARNIVAL

With the city of St. John’s only a mile taxi or car journey (and EC$1.50 on the bus) we are in the perfect location for visiting Carnival fans. Taking place from the end of July each year more than a week of shows, mas and fetes will entertain you,and you are never more than 10 minutes away from the action. In the run up to Carnival there are a minimum of two fetes a weekend so if you can’t stay for longer, come for a party weekend and use us as your base. The team at the Anchorage Inn are involved in the Dynamics Mas Troupe and have been for many years so just ask away if you want to know more. We can tell you all the best vantage points to watch from or you can get involved and be part of Antigua’s fantastic Annual Carnival.
