Some sponsors do have floats in the parade and several political leaders including the Governor of Massachusetts, Deval Patrick and his wife have opened Boston’s Trinidad Style Carnival.
The typical visitor is of Caribbean descent, however over the years many non Caribbean nationals have been attending the events, several of whom have gone on to participate in the parade. Boston’s Trinidad Style carnival is held in August, the weekend before Labor Day. The planned events are: Kiddies Carnival, King & Queen Show, Jouvert, Parade and Boat cruise. During months of May - August a multitude of cultural events are planned by several promoters and organizations.

Kiddies Carnival – A day of fun for children and their families. There is seating capacity for about 5,000 people in White Stadium. There are other entertainment such as Steel band music by young pannist, face painting, dance and lots of Caribbean and American food on sale.

This environment is ideally suited for companies needing access to the family such as Toys R Us, Car seat manufactures and business needing access to the family directly.
The King & Queen Show is held at the Reggie Lewis Center, Boston. It features the larger costumes which are part of each band’s presentation for the season. This is an opportunity for the audience to experience and see the costumes up close. Many in the audience wonder if the individuals parading the costumes can really maneuver them as easily as they do. Entertainment is provided by Steel bands, local artists and an assortment of international Soca artists. Past entertainers have been The Shadow, Crazy and Shurwayne Winchester
