The 2018 Carnival Season ended symbolically with Tewey Vaval on Wednesday evening.
The event was held at Bataca in the Kalinago Territory.
It began with a parade of a fake coffin containing “Vaval” to the beating of drums.
A bonfire was then started and revelers started jumping over it.
The coffin was then burnt, marking the end of Carnival.

You all had fun you tewey Vaval everybody go back to work to rebuild Dominica.
There is a common saying, “do not play with fire!”
Fire has a way of growing stronger and once it flares out of control, it becomes a threat! There is a fire that can never be quenched according to the bible.
What is this vaval about? Is it something to do with the creator, God almighty or not! if it doesn’t then we know that you can either be with God or not!
think about it
May His name be praised.
So you agree we were backward and ungodly before the European colonizers came and took our, culture, history and customs away? We have to embrace our history. African, Kalinago and Taino people had their own customs before Christianity was introduced to them. Keep our culture alive.
So you trying to tell the people that the bible is right and all their native culture is wrong?
Get back to the cotton fields if you truly believe that, leave DNO.
Anal BS Analy. Let the people express their culture. Control the fire in your life.
