In 2026, Friends For The Road celebrates the sacred cycle of J’Ouvert — from mud and color to the cleansing force of water.
We welcome Carnival with hands in the air, feet on the earth,
and hearts wide open.
Wash away the old and begin new! On d road at sunrise we play
… and rise renewed
This IS WATER!
