How a Caribbean Carnival Pro Packs For Barbados's Crop Over Festival

Clear Fanny Pack ($12)

Foreday, jouvert, or any paint + powder fete is an absolute must if you're going to a Caribbean carnival or festival. Take along a fanny pack, purse, or small bag that is either water-resistant or waterproof.

Also, bring along shorts, a T-shirt, or underwear you don't mind getting mucking up. Jouvert bands will often outfit you with a T-shirt beforehand, but make sure you pack extra just in case. Bring along a plastic bag and a headwrap or hat to protect your hair. Find your rattiest sneakers and pack those as well.
