Bali Carnival: Caribbean Carnival Makes Its Southeast Asian Debut
This carnival marks the first Trinidad & Tobago-themed carnival in Southeast Asia and Australia, attracting revelers from around the world to gather in Bali and witness this historic moment. Many visitors have shared their joy on Instagram: ‘First time experiencing a carnival in Bali! Thank you, Bali Carnival, for such an amazing experience! Now I’m ready to join the carnival—who wants to come with me?’
The birth of this carnival is credited to Ethan Auguste, founder of Caribbean Vybez. Auguste first visited Bali in 2019 and decided to make it the new home of Trinidad & Tobago culture in Southeast Asia. He introduced Caribbean culture to the UAE back in 2009 and has now brought Trinidad & Tobago’s Soca music and carnival culture to Bali.
