Carnival Bands Raise Alarm Over Inter-Island Transport Ahead of Tobago’s October Festival

With Tobago’s October Carnival fast approaching, bandleaders are expressing growing concern over the limited inter-island transport options. They warn that the shortage of flights and ferry sailings between Trinidad and Tobago could disrupt the movement of visitors, masqueraders, and essential personnel who play a vital role in the festival’s execution. According to bandleaders, the October Carnival relies heavily on participation from Trinidad and other regions, and without sufficient transportation, both attendance and the overall success of the event could be at risk.
