After the Second World War, Carnival was degenerating into a series of unworthy masquerades and compromising the beautiful reputation of Martinique. To counter the loss of one of its major tourist attractions, a festival committee was created and Carnival was saved.

Since 1949, the Carnival in Fort-de-France has revelled in glory.
