Panorama
Enjoy pulsating energy and breathtaking music from Trinidadian steelpan — the unofficial instrument of the Caribbean — while witnessing the exciting battle of the bands at Panorama. The event is a major highlight of Carnival where people come to watch the main event: the Panorama Steel Band Competition, where some of the best steelpan bands in the world battle for the title of “Champions of the Panorama.” Attendees also spend the evening eating, drinking and dancing the night away.

The bands that participate practice all year round. Their performances are judged based on criteria such as visual impact, creativity, craftsmanship, the relationship of their performances to the theme of the competition, portability of their instruments, and overall presentation.
Panorama is truly a sight (and sound) to behold. The competition is routinely held on the Friday of Carnival week. This year, visit Panorama on October 8, 2021 from 4:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.
