Trinbago’s Carnival Lagniappe is in full swing at the Queen’s Park Savannah in Port of Spain (De Savannah), but once again there seems to be no official online stream for the public to enjoy.
Local videographers are doing their best with independent feeds, but neither TTT nor WACK Visual Radio is broadcasting the show. For an event that celebrates the very best of Carnival 2026—champions, icons, and the full brilliance of our culture—this silence from the official channels is disappointing.
This is the final grand showcase of the season, a moment where the country’s top performers come together to remind us why Trinidad and Tobago remains the cultural heartbeat of the Caribbean. It’s a gift, a spectacle, a national treasure.
And yet… this is how we want the world to experience our culture?
One would think that those in charge—government included—would be eager to share this talent with global audiences. Broadcasting this event could inspire future visitors, strengthen cultural pride, and give the world a taste of what makes our Carnival unmatched.
Yes, I’m disappointed. Many of us are.
But we will still highlight what we can. Today, we’re watching from the sidelines, thanks to one of the hardworking videographers who refuse to let the culture go unseen.
Kaiso Dial will continue to amplify what’s available—because the culture must go on, even when the official channels fall short.
