Plain-language terms for using the guide, submitting a listing and following our links.

Using this site

Soca Carnival is a free, independent guide to Trinidad and Tobago Carnival. By using the site you agree to these terms and to our privacy policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

Carnival information changes

Carnival moves fast. Bands change prices, fetes change venues and times get confirmed late. We source every fact and label anything we have not been able to confirm as needing review, but we cannot guarantee that every detail is current.

  • Always confirm dates, times, prices and availability with the band, promoter or ticket seller before you pay or travel.
  • Times are shown in Trinidad time (AST, UTC-4) unless a page says otherwise.
  • Safety and travel advice is general guidance, not a substitute for official advice from your government or local authorities.

Found something wrong? Our corrections policy explains how to tell us.

Listings and submissions

When you send us an event or business through the submission form, you confirm that:

  • the information is accurate, and you are the organiser or have their permission to share it;
  • you are allowed to share any links or details you include.

You allow us to publish, edit and shorten the information so it fits the guide. Submitting does not guarantee a listing. We review every submission before publishing and may decline, update or remove any listing, for example if we cannot verify it. A listing is not an endorsement.

Partner links and other websites

Some links are partner links, marked with a “Partner” label. Our affiliate disclosure explains how they work. Any booking or purchase you make through a link is between you and that provider, on their terms. We are not responsible for other websites, their content, their prices or their services.

Our content and images

The text, design and original artwork on this site belong to Soca Carnival. You are welcome to link to any page and to quote short passages with a link back. Please ask before republishing anything longer.

Photos and logos belong to their owners and appear under the licence or permission credited next to each one. Band, event and artist names are the property of their owners and are used only to identify them. If you own an image and believe we are using it incorrectly, email corrections@socacarnival.com and we will act on it promptly.

Acceptable use

Please do not:

  • send spam, false listings or misleading information through our forms;
  • try to break, overload or get around the security of the site;
  • copy the site in bulk or scrape it in a way that slows it down for other visitors.

Liability

The site is provided as it is, free of charge. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for losses that come from relying on information on the site, from the services of bands, promoters, partners or other third parties, or from the site being unavailable. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have that cannot be limited by law.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms as the site grows. The date at the top shows the latest version. Questions go to hello@socacarnival.com.
