Several of the big bands stayed away from the Queen's Park Savannah on Carnival Monday, but those who crossed the stage expressed exuberance over the return of Carnival after the two-year hiatus caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Revellers and spectators turned out in large numbers flooding the main street in Sangre Grande for J’Ouvert. But before they were allowed to enter the main area to enjoy the revelry, they had to pass through security checks set up by officers of the T&T Police Service who were out in full force.

Even though Carnival 2023 has been dubbed the Mother of all Carnivals, yesterday’s opening of the two-day revelry failed to attract the usual crowd of spectators that often line the streets, anxiously awaiting the official 4 am start of J’Ouvert.
