A high-level security threat triggered the shutdown of Midnight Mas just over an hour before midnight on Carnival Monday in San Fernando, unleashing outrage among masqueraders, bandleaders, vendors and city officials.
The event, one of South Trinidad’s signature Carnival attractions outside of J’Ouvert, had been scheduled to end at 1 am yesterday. However, at approximately 10.55 pm, music trucks were ordered to cut the sound and bands were forced to disperse.
