Port of Spain, Trinidad: Sunday, March 29, 2026: “Carnival in the Sky,” a collaborative kite-flying festival taking place over the Easter weekend, kicked off with an exhibition on Saturday, March 28 at the Grand Stand, Queen’s Park Savannah.
Organised by the National Carnival Commission of Trinidad and Tobago (NCC), the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, and the Art Society of Trinidad and Tobago, Carnival in the Sky 2026 highlights cultural fusion through artistic, Carnival-themed kites featuring Chinese and local kite experts.
NCC Chairman, Peter Kanhai, in his welcome remarks on Saturday, said, “Once again, the rich history of Chinese kite making and flying will blend seamlessly with our unique Caribbean spirit and creativity to produce something great.”
Kanhai called the event a celebration of culture and creativity and pledged the NCC’s support for any initiative that keeps local traditions alive and opens doors to work with cultures outside of our Trinidad and Tobago’s.
“Carnival in the Sky is a celebration of our two peoples and more than half a century of strong diplomatic relations and synergies,” Kanhai said.
“If you loved the colours on the ground in February, you are most certainly going to love the display in the air today and this Easter,” he added.
Taking place at the Grand Stand, Queen’s Park Savannah this Easter, Carnival in the Sky is free to public and will showcase large, creative kites with designs that incorporate local Carnival elements and colorful designs.
