He made the statement as a guest on the Creole Heartbeat program recently.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 2025 Carnival season was launched on Friday, December 27, 2024, and a packed calendar of events has already been made available to the public, with several of these events scheduled to take place on the same date.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe are such a small economy, our population is so small. It increases by a small percentage when our visitors come in, but it is not significant for us to try to have events on on top of the other,\u201d he said. \u201cI believe in extending the carnival season to accommodate all of that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He asserts that events should start earlier.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe carnival season itself opens too late\u2026,\u201d Bobb remarked. \u201cBecause I would like to go to some of those events that I am hearing about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, he stated that these organizers are depriving him of coming to their events, \u201cbecause everybody wants to put one on top of the other.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bobb pointed out that this concern has been expressed for quite some time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe have been putting reasonable arguments on the table,\u201d Bobb stated. \u201cWhy don\u2019t we try to coexist, why don\u2019t we try to support each other?\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He continued, \u201cWe should be advertising one of those events at our show. We cannot do that because those events [exist] at the same time with us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He added, \u201cWe do not want to compete with anyone, we want to support people. We want to be even able to sell their tickets at our events, but that is impossible.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Executive member of the Dominica Calypso Association (DCA) Daryl Bobb believes that the Carnival season should be extended to prevent scheduling conflicts, where events occur on the same date and time.
