Event planner: Tobago must stage own Carnival Kevon McKenna. - A private group led by marketing and events co-ordinator Kevon McKenna hopes to plan and stage a Tobago Carnival. For many years conversations were had about Tobago having its own Carnival but nothing has yet materialised. Speaking with Newsday last week, McKenna, 36, who is planning to host, what he called, a stakeholders’ conversation to thrash out the issue, said it’s time to change the narrative on the Carnival festivities. “I have paid very close attention to the Carnival product offered in Tobago and these related discussions. As a result of my interest in Tobago’s Carnival product, and amidst these discussions, I was inspired to commence and complete a Masters in Arts & Carnival Studies."
