St. George’s, June 5, 2012 – Defending Soca Monarch, Terror Kid, is among several top artistes who will be performing at this year’s official launch of the Spicemas Corporation’s Carnival City.

Terror Kid will be joined on stage by former Road March winners, Tallpree and Otis, as well as by Nikoyan Bain and Little Natty and Thunder. Music will be provided by DJ Black Storm.

Following Wednesday’s launch, the Carnival City show will then be held on Thursday of each week at Lazy Lagoon. It will move to other parishes on weekends.

Meanwhile, the Spicemas Corporation has announced that it has begun accepting registration for its various carnival shows. These include Soca Monarch, Calypso Monarch, Groovy Monarch, Children’s Carnival Frolic, Jouvert, and Monday Night Mas.
