Big changes for Carnival: No North Stand, new Dimanche Gras
Winston Peters, Chairman of the National Carnival Commission(NCC), confirmed to Loop that a decision has been made to nix the North Stand.
“The North Stand has become economically burdensome, it costs a lot of money,” said Peters, noting that it cost over four million dollars to erect and dismantle each year.
Stating that it is time for us to consider internationalising Carnival with a view to generating revenue, Peters said he has just returned from New York to look at advertising prospects in the subways and on main streets such as 42nd Street.
