New Orleans has its Mardi Gras celebrations, but when the Caribbean parties, it parties all day long. Each island has its own traditional celebration, whether it's Junkanoo in the Bahamas or Trinidad's Carnival, and luckily for you, there are Caribbean villas for you to stay at throughout the year.

Ready to get your party on? Here's a rundown of where and when the Caribbean will be alive with festivities you won't soon forget:

Junkanoo in the Bahamas
It might be the best party in the Caribbean. Junkanoo, which takes place on December 26 and January 1, was once a holiday for the island's workers, but has since become a rager of a celebration. Floats, fireworks, costumes, beads, glitter - everything you could ever want in a street party - are just a fraction of what you can expect at this incredible event. You should book your stay at luxury rentals well in advance, because accommodations on the island fill up fast around the holidays.

Crop Over in Barbados
It might not happen until August 5, but Barbados' Crop Over is considered to be the Caribbean's second-best carnival party. Originally a celebration of a year's successful sugar harvest, Crop Over was a way for workers to blow off some steam after a season of hard work in the Caribbean sun. Today, the revelry has grown more chic, and people from all over the world fly over with elaborate costumes in tow. Get ready to dance all night long to soca, which is Barbados' traditional music.

Carnival in Trinidad
You can expect to go on quite the bender if you're staying at villa vacation rentals during Trinidad's carnival in February. Not only will you be partying for two days straight, but your legs will also feel the burn after what might seem like hours of continuous dancing. If you make it through the carnival in Trinidad, you can spend the rest of your vacation recuperating by whiling away the hours on the beautiful sandy beaches near your luxurious accommodations. Talk about a tough life.
