 The Haitian Carnival has been one of the most popular carnivals in the Caribbean.In 2010, the government decided to stage the event in a different city outside Port-au-Prince every year in an attempt to decentralize the country.The National Carnival usually held in one of the country's largest cities (i.e., Port-au-Prince, Cap-Haïtien or Les Cayes) follows the also very popular Jacmel Carnival, which takes place a week earlier in February or March.
