Kiddies fill San Fernando, Port of Spain with colour

Children took to the streets once again on March 2, this time, in South Quay, as judges viewed the kings and queens and revellers in several Kiddies Carnival bands.

The children were out as early as 10 am, with mas productions such as Fun Time, Spoilt Rotten Kids, Jo Mas and Circle of love displaying their costumes for judges.

Spoilt Rotten Kids’ submission, Salty: A Tale of the Seven Seas, had a mix of sailor mas and ocean-themed costumes.

Jo Mas and the Circle of Love had costumes entirely made by crochet. Jo Mas’ the Krochet Queen featured fanciful costumes with crocheted gowns and headpieces. The queen of the band wore a long flowing dress and a headpiece.

Circle of Love’s Crochet explosion utilised crocheting to bring fanciful designs to life with large headpieces and full-body costumes for children of all sizes.

In San Fernando, the parade started at the Paramount Building after noon judging in Skinner Park with individual and band performances.

The little ones paraded in their costumes down Coffee Street and Cipero Street.

Spectrum of Life was the first to face the judges but no other band had crossed the stage by 3 pm.
