"Bacchanal is going to continue year after year to make things good for everyone," he said.
PARADED
At the launch, some of the colourful costumes were paraded to give an eyeful of the colourful flavour they will add to this year's carnival experience.
Among the flamboyant

Members of the media and public were reassured that all costumes will be made available this year in both one and two piece styles.
The eight-week celebration will kick off at the Mas Camp on Monday, January 31, commencing with Soca'cise, to get patrons in gear for the regular Friday fetes, leading up to the big day on Sunday, April 3, when the road march will take place.
