Trinidad Carnival 2008 - reveller wearing paint and mud after J'ouvert celebrations. J'Ouvert celebrations during the 2008 Carnival season in Trinidad-J'ouvert is the raw heart of Trinidad carnival. It is a massive, night-time street party and procession which culminates in central Port of Spain in the early hours of Lundi Gras, before the daytime carnival parades. It is a continuation of the parties from the night before, as thousands of revellers take to the streets from about two o'clock for some more fun. They dance till dawn and beyond - j'ouvert (pronounced jouvay) is a creole corruption of the French jour ouvert
