We covered the practice session on the drag via the vlogger “I Am Living My Life.” Then came the on‑stage performances to determine the best arranged song and orchestration for steelbands for Labor Day Carnival 2026.
Pan lovers, it was Panorama night in Brooklyn! The steelbands brought pure fire to the Brooklyn Museum, competing for the Labor Day Carnival 2026 Panorama Championship. The competition kicked off on Sunday, September 6, 2026, at 8:00 p.m. and wrapped up in the early hours of Sunday morning—a true celebration of Caribbean artistry and endurance.
Expect big performances, fierce rivalry, and that unmistakable energy only the steelpan can deliver.
Stay locked in—tonight belongs to the pan.
