9Years on the road
Who we are
Built by people who play mas
Caribbean Chit started as a personal project — one iPhone camera, one J’ouvert, and a feeling that nobody was recording long-form carnival content. It grew into a full media outlet covering Carnival across the United States, the Caribbean and beyond.
We travel to the events.
- Independent and self-funded — no brand telling us what to cut.
- Major diaspora carnival covered on a repeating annual calendar.
- Extended cuts for Patreon members, including uncensored footage.
Don’t just remember carnival. Own it.
