The government is assuring the public that alternative Carnival venues exist and that it is full steam ahead for the Greatest Show on Earth.
Responding to a question in the Lower House of Parliament on Friday, Minister of Culture and Community Development Michelle Benjamin said the government is committed to serving all stakeholders.
She said plans are afoot for the biggest and brightest celebration ever.
“The Ministry of Culture and Community Development and the National Carnival Commission have identified suitable event spaces in the Queen’s Park Savannah. Additionally, Mr. Speaker, we are in consultation with other stakeholders. The Ministry has identified suitable spaces, and our door remains open to each and every one in the industry that wishes to meet with us.”
