I am new to soca and looking forward to my first carnival. Where is the best place in Europe to have a go at it? :)

Berlin is a great carnival experience, especially for the first one. Will we be on the road again with Carnival Explosion?

Berlin was my first carnival and I would definitely recommend it as your first carnival, too.

Thanks Sarah and Terris. I have never been to Rotterdam so it's a perfect reason to start planning :) Is there a group from Soaked in Soca going there next year?

I agree, Rotterdam „Zomer Carnaval“ is the best carnival for „newbies“ as it is not as overcrowded and very relaxed!
