THE National Carnival Commission (NCC) is working with a budget of about $25-$30 million for its Taste of Carnival which will see the introduction of a pod-system as patrons enjoy a muted, scaled-down version of the annual festival.
NCC chairman Winston "Gypsy" Peters also unveiled the commission's official calendar of events for the season which will begin on February 4, at a press conference on Monday at the Queen’s Park Savannah, Port of Spain.
The first event will be a virtual calypso show and then calypso tents will open from February 11.
“The proposed budget so far we are supposed to get about 25 – 30 million dollars,” he said.
Events will be held at three venues across the country: Queen’s Park Savannah, Queen’s Hall and Naparima Bowl.
