Renegades

Port of Spain


The Renegades panyard is a little out of the way on the fringe of downtown Port of Spain, so getting there and away can sometimes feel a bit edgy. But once inside, the buzz is electric, especially in the run-up to Carnival. Practice sessions are held Tuesday to Thursday, and nightly before Carnival.
