Trinidad likes its Carnival wild and wotless...d revelers unabashed an d partying is nonstop.....Carnival or as we say cahneeval....next dy it a farewell to flesh, or meat.......It marks the last chance to celebrate with abandon before a period of restraint for the 40 days of Lent....it take place Feb. 11 and 12, but the Carnival season begins as early as July when masquerade bands start launching the year's costumes and new soca music floods the scene.....
Wearing scanty costumes of feathers and sequins.....masqueraders will soon be marching,...wining and chippin across Port of Spain...san fernando an other parts of T&T....while music blass from speaker boxes an consumption of alcohol......an wine or gyrate.......

Saturday begins bright and early for children participating in the Junior Parade of the Bands, which starts at 7 am in PoS and ends on ‘The Big Stage’ at QPS.
12 hrs after large crowd is expected to fill seats in the North and Grand Stands at QPS to enjoy the “sweet sound” of pan during the medium and large band categories of the National Panorama Competition.
