Culture
Grenadian culture is a mixture of British, African, West Indian and French influences which has left an indomitable influence in the folklore, dialect, music and general way of life. French influence on Grenadian culture can still be found in surnames, names of villages and the local dialect or Patois. Historical sites also portray remnants of French and British colonial architecture that have been well preserved.
African heritage is deeply rooted in Grenadian music, dance and festivals. Soca, calypso, steel pan and DJ music form the heart of the annual carnival where street parades and musical competitions display the contenders competing for the various carnival titles. Activities during that period include Soca Monarch, Groovey Monarch, Dimanche Gras, National Queen Show, Panorama, Jouvert, Pageant, Monday Nite Mas and Parade of the Bands.
