Carnival 2014 is already rearing to go!

Well it seems that this year Carnival 2014 is already rearing to go!

Just about 4 months since the culmination of C2K13 in February, and we’re already into the highly-anticipated Trinidad Carnival Bandlaunch Season for 2014- hardly a deep breath to be had! With the recently-concluded Harts Carnival 2014 Bandlaunch on Friday 21^st June, we’re already seeing that C2K14 is going to be one to remember – full of vibrant colour, the intensity of theatrical artistry, intricate design elements and unmatched camaraderie.

Although the National Carnival Commission has set the official launch of Carnival to be next month, Gerald Hart and his team have certainly kept ahead of the game with their dramatic presentation of the Harts 2014 “Of Love and War” Carnival Collection at the O2 Park Amphitheatre. Armed with such in-theme props as swords, shields and incredible acrobatics, the Bandlaunch for this veteran 50+ year-old Carnival organization definitely left avid Harts revellers and Carnival enthusiasts excited for Carnival 2014!

Little can be said for the anticipation, with baited breath felt by many for the NCC’s Carnival Launch scheduled for July and the jam-packed band launch schedule for the summer months of July and August!

With Harts highlighting the influence of powerful women and men through the course of history, focusing heavily on the Roman and Greek Empires, we at the National Carnival Commission eagerly looks forward to the presentations that other leaders in the mas fraternity have planned for the masses. The rumblings in the Carnival ranks reveal that the global public can expect some incredible tricks hidden up their sleeves!

From the looks of things, Carnival 2014 is definitely going to be a platform for a myriad of colours and innovative design, and will certainly be a season for the record books! We look forward to working closely with all stakeholders in the industry to making Carnival 2014 a “true Trini Carnival”, and one that continues to solidify our nation as the host of “The Greatest Show On Earth”!
