The Carnival Development Corporation of Trinidad and Tobago officially kicked off Carnival 2025 today at the Queen's Park Savannah in Port of Spain. Yes, dear friends, it is that time again. We have been posting new Soca songs almost daily but today marks the official start of the big event. The theme for the 2025 celebration is "No Place Like Home!" At the launch today, viewers will get the opportunity to view snippets of our culture in music, featuring Calypso, Soca, and the national instrument, the steelpan, with Exodus as one of the Steelband performing tonight. 

Some of your favorite artists will perform tonight, including Patrice Roberts, Karene Asche, Nadia Batson, Kernal Roberts, KMC, Aaron Duncan, Nailah Blackman, College Boy Jesse, Calypsonian Blackie and others. Portrayals will feature carnival costumes showcasing the unique skill and talent of our people. Some of the scheduled events for this event, which began at 3:30 pm, include a parade on the Savannah Drag (the pathway leading to the stage), followed by performances that are expected to continue late into the night.

There are several feeds on YouTube broadcasting the event (several bootleg feeds) along with TTT, the official television station out of Trinidad and Tobago. Enjoy the evening's entertainment.
