It's that time of year again, and the National Carnival Commission of Trinidad and Tobago (NCCTT) has provided us with the schedule of events for the 2024 Carnival celebration.

 

Please note that Carnival events for 2024 start in December 2023 with the National Panorama Single Pan Finals and the Small Conventional Bands Semi-Finals at Victoria Square, Port-of-Spain.

 

Just keep in mind that you will have to contact friends and check online social media sites for the dates of your favorite and upcoming fetes that most people look forward to attending. Check "Eventbrite" (www.eventbrite.com) for available tickets to the most popular fetes!

 

In addition to the major events listed above, there are many other Carnival-related events happening throughout January and February, such as band launches, fetes, stick-fighting, limbo, and calypso competitions.

 

Carnival Monday and Tuesday are the two biggest days of Carnival, and they are when the famous street parades take place. Large gatherings of people take to the streets of Port of Spain and other towns and villages across Trinidad and Tobago to celebrate Carnival in Trinidad and Tobago. These celebrations are full of music, dancing, and colorful costumes.

 

If you are planning to attend Carnival in Trinidad and Tobago, it is important to book your flights and accommodations in advance since Trinidad and Tobago's Carnival is a very popular event.  That popularity could mean a shortage of rooms (if you decide to go last minute) and also the possibility of sold-out costumes if you plan to participate in the parade of the bands. Are we joking? Hell no, take note that DJ/Producer Private Ryan's "Soca Brainwash Trinidad 2024 - The Western Story" is sold out already!

Lyrikal's newly released song "Stick On" is a Soca anthem that is sure to get you moving. The song is produced by System32 and features a catchy beat and infectious melody. Lyrikal's vocals are spot-on, and he delivers the lyrics with the passion and vigor for which he is known. 

 

The song is about a man who is completely smitten with a woman, and he wants to be with her all the time. He sings, "I want to stick on, I don't know how to function". As for the music video, the dancer is exceptionally talented, she is a prolific whiner who knows her craft well!

 

"Stick On" is a fun and upbeat song that is perfect for any occasion. Kudos to System 32 for producing a 'Soca song" and not a Caribbean pop track marketed as Soca; this is the real deal! "Stick On" is sure to get you dancing and singing along. The song has already been well-received by fans, and it is quickly becoming a Soca hit on the party scene. We love it all, well done!
