Saint Vincent & the Grenadines, W.I. - The Saint Vincent and the Grenadines’ Ministry of Tourism, Sports and Culture has received recommendations by the Carnival Development Corporation (CDC) (copy of letter of April 1, 2020) relative to Vincymas 2020. Their recommendations were influenced by submissions by all three components: Pan, Calypso and Mas by way of letters in late March 2020 after consultations were held with their affiliates.
The recommendations of CDC were accepted by the Cabinet of St. Vincent and the Grenadines to cancel Vincymas 2020 in its original format scheduled for June-July 2020. However, Cabinet leave open, if circumstances permit, for the holding of a popular festival at a later date in the summer of 2020, involving all interested stakeholders.
This acceptance of the recommendations relieves the CDC from their various obligations of planning for Vincymas 2020.
