The early launch of the 2026 Tobago Carnival in May has already paid off, with some mas bands reporting costume sales of between 50 and 60 per cent.
President of the Tobago October Carnival Association, Dexter Sandy, says Year Five of Tobago Carnival is shaping up to be an even better experience for masqueraders.
He attributed the early success to the Tobago Festivals Commission’s collaboration with mas bands, which he said has also allowed for better planning and improvements to the road experience, particularly along Calypso Rose Boulevard.
