Trinidad Carnival was not a cheap Bucket List Item. In fact, it was one of my most expensive bucket list items that I’ve completed, so let’s talk about it!
This was my costume:
Band: The Lost Tribe
Section: Power
I did not purchase the accessories package which included a pair of earrings and two bracelets (pictured below.)
But I did purchase the “Rule the Road” Backpack which is the larger back piece pictured.
Check out my cost breakdown below!

I did not attend any carnival fetes (I’m not a party person) so this breakdown is exclusively my expenses for Carnival Monday and Tuesday. Everything is quoted in USD.
| Costume | $1,630.40 USD |
| Carnival Monday Wear | $40.00 USD |
| Footwear | $45.00 USD |
| Accessories | $45.00 USD |
| Make Up | $15.00 USD |
| Transportation For Monday + Tuesday | $60.00 USD |
| Stay Accommodation | Stayed Home |
| Costume Transportation | $100.00 USD |
| Airfare | $636.22 USD |
| Total | $2,571.62 USD |
And there you have it, that is the cost breakdown for the return of Trinidad Carnival. If you have any questions about my breakdown, be sure to leave me a comment!
