The Canboulay Riots of 1881 were a defining moment in Trinidad and Tobago’s history, and set in motion, the events that have ultimately led to the Carnival celebration we know today. The Canboulay reenactment, written by playwright Eintou Pearl Springer and produced by the Idakeda Cultural Group is held on Picadilly Greens in Port of Spain on Carnival Friday morning. Khary Roberts was there and has more.
