TRINIDAD CARNIVAL 2021 CANCELLED

T

rinidad Carnival was spared at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, but it doesn’t look like it will escape the shutdown next year. Speaking at the 'Spotlight on the Economy Forum', on Monday 28 September at the Hyatt Regency, Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley said, “Today I can put everybody on notice, unless there is some dramatic wind that will blow across us where by Christmas pandemic would have been a thing of the past, Carnival in Trinidad & Tobago in 2021 is not on.” Carnival was scheduled to take place on Monday 15 and Tuesday 16 February 2021. It is just one of the Pre-Lenten carnivals that we expect will be cancelled. SN OCT 2020 7
