@guardian.co.tt

There was an ex­plo­sion of colour, splen­dour and cre­ativ­i­ty at the Queen’s Park Sa­van­nah, Port-of-Spain, yes­ter­day, as hun­dreds of chil­dren par­tic­i­pat­ed in the T&T Red Cross So­ci­ety (TTRCS) Chil­dren’s Car­ni­val 2025. Pres­i­dent of TTRCS Jill De Bourg said this year’s Car­ni­val was in good hands, as the so­ci­ety has seen an in­crease in chil­dren’s reg­is­ter­ing com­pared to 2024. The theme for this year’s event was “Eu­pho­ria of Mas”.

Speak­ing with Guardian Me­dia af­ter her wel­come ad­dress to pa­trons, spon­sors, and vol­un­teers, De Bourg said the goal was to bring back the pas­sion, spir­it, beau­ty, essence and love in­to chil­dren’s mas.
