The Na­tion­al Car­ni­val Com­mis­sion (NCC) says it will be work­ing close­ly with all stake­hold­ers and the Min­istry of Tourism, Cul­ture and The Arts, on ways to in­no­vate the Trinidad and To­ba­go Car­ni­val prod­uct for a post-COVID-19 world.

Op­po­si­tion Leader, Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar SC MP, is call­ing on the gov­ern­ment to have a vir­tu­al car­ni­val.

The Min­is­ter of Tourism, Cul­ture and the Arts says he and the Min­istry are work­ing to en­sure Trinidad and To­ba­go’s Car­ni­val re­mains “at the fore­front of the glob­al Car­ni­val land­scape”.

So far two car­ni­val or­ga­ni­za­tions have in­di­cat­ed that their events for Car­ni­val 2021 have been post­poned.

Bar­ring any ma­jor change to the lo­cal COVID-19 trend, mas­quer­aders will be chip­ping in the streets for Car­ni­val 2021, Cul­ture Min­is­ter Nyan Gads­by-Dol­ly con­firmed yes­ter­day.
