Recapturing the event
The St Kitts & Nevis National Carnival Committee announced two hosts for the show. The host of the show was featured internally, as well as the local host.
The first host who was announced for the show was Nicole Gumbs. Nicole was described as someone who had an interest in the show as she was crowned with composure and elegance, dazzled on the pageant circuit, winning multiple championships and winning over hearts with her beautiful appeal.
Kris Adrian Liburd replaced the Jamaican content creator and reality series host Rushane ‘RushCam’ Campbell, originally slated to co-host, was not able to join due to a family emergency. Kris Liburd will take the stage alongside another homegrown talent to create an unforgettable pageant experience.
