St. James Children’s Carnival Parade
The St. James Children’s Carnival
Parade is on.
Come Sunday February 12, the 33rd
edition will be staged under the banner of the St. James Community Improvement
Committee (CIC) and existing members of the St. James Working Council with
assistance from the N.C.C. Regional Carnival Committee.
The event, the brainchild 0f Ken
Valley (des.) and subsequently run by Ms Yvonne Mungal (des.) of the St. James
Working Council, has been a Carnival staple for many years.
After a near cancellation in 2020
much to the disappointment of many, the National Carnival Commission and a
couple of interested persons stepped in to ensure that “the children of the
nation have an extra day to jump, exhibit, palance and ramajay.”
In a couple of weeks, junior
masqueraders will once again take to the streets in all their splendor and
glory rivaling their adult counterparts from Long Circular Road (Courts) to
George Cabral Street, St. James.
Starting time is 1:00pm and continues until 6:00pm.
Judging point is at the St. James
Park & Amphitheatre, Western Main Road, St. James. Categories include Best
Use of Local Materials, Creativity and local themes as well as the traditional
Bands of the Year, and Junior King and Queen of Carnival.
This year will see the addition
of the Yvonne Mungal Challenge Trophy for the presentation adjudged “Band of
the Year” donated by The St James Community Improvement Committee.
Registration commences on Monday
January 30 and continues to Thursday February 09 at 6 Quamina Street, (between
Brunton Road & Mooneram Street) between the hours of 12 noon and 6:00pm.
