It's that time of year again, and the National Carnival Commission of Trinidad and Tobago (NCCTT) has provided us with the schedule of events for the 2024 Carnival celebration.
Please note that Carnival events for 2024 start in December 2023 with the National Panorama Single Pan Finals and the Small Conventional Bands Semi-Finals at Victoria Square, Port-of-Spain.
Just keep in mind that you will have to contact friends and check online social media sites for the dates of your favorite and upcoming fetes that most people look forward to attending. Check "Eventbrite" (www.eventbrite.com) for available tickets to the most popular fetes!
In addition to the major events listed above, many other Carnival-related events are happening throughout January and February, such as band launches, fetes, stick-fighting, limbo, panorama, and calypso competitions.
Carnival Monday and Tuesday are the two biggest days of Carnival, and they are when the famous street parades take place. Large gatherings of people take to the streets of Port of Spain and other towns and villages across Trinidad and Tobago to celebrate Carnival in Trinidad and Tobago. These celebrations are full of music, dancing, and colorful costumes.
If you are planning to attend Carnival in Trinidad and Tobago, it is important to book your flights and accommodations in advance since Trinidad and Tobago's Carnival is a very popular event. That popularity could mean a shortage of rooms (if you decide to go last minute) and also the possibility of sold-out costumes if you plan to participate in the parade of the bands. Are we joking? Hell no, take note that DJ/Producer Private Ryan's "Soca Brainwash Trinidad 2024 - The Western Story" is sold out already!
