NOTE: I Calypso tents in Trinidad, emerging in the 1920s, were traditional venues for calypsonians to perform social commentary and picong during the Carnival season

The first commercial tent was organized by Walter "Railway Douglas" in 1921 in Port of Spain.

Notable early venues included The Old Brigade, The Original Young Brigade, and the World's Fair Calypso Tent (later the Commando Tent).

Despite Carnival being cancelled from 1942–1945 due to World War II, tents stayed open, providing social commentary and entertainment

NOTE: I did not know about Beltane, i did a google search.
Beltane is an ancient Gaelic May Day festival celebrated on May 1st (or midway between the spring equinox and summer solstice) that signifies the start of summer. Meaning "bright fire" or "fire of Bel," it is a fire festival traditionally associated with fertility, purifying rituals, the protection of livestock, and celebrating the return of growth and life.
