According to information presented during the launch, Bakkanal explores the diversities of Trinidad and Tobago Carnival from 1839 to 2009, creating a very practical insight into the fun and excitement presented in the greatest show on earth. The fetes, competitions, the Steelpan, Dimanche Gras and Blue Devils all form a part of this bacchanal.
