ONE of Pan Trinbago’s signature events, Pan and Powder, takes place on August 20. Over the years, the event has seen thousands and thousands of people swarm to the capital city to hear bands of varying sizes play their favourite songs.
Pan Trinbago president Beverley Ramsey-Moore anticipates that this year’s event will be no different and will draw thousands to Port of Spain. It will begin at 5 pm at City Hall, Knox Street, Port of Spain. Bands will musically lift people across several of the city’s streets. People and bands will sway along Pembroke Street, then across Keate, along Frederick and then to the Queen’s Park Savannah where the day’s activities will end.
A release said, “Expect a dynamic showcase of Trinidad and Tobago’s finest steelbands, pulsating rhythms, and a charged atmosphere as powder fills the air – celebrating unity, creativity, and the true spirit of Trinbagonian culture.” It invited families, pan lovers, and citizens to join its “grand celebration” of the national instrument.
