On the topic of opening our arms to the world, T&T will host the third edition of CARIFESTA in less than 15 years with the staging of CARIFESTA IX here from the end of September.

CARIFESTA, since it’s inception in Guyana in 1972, has previously been staged in T&T in 1992 and 1995.

As was the case 14 years ago, Prime Minister Patrick Manning is expected to again welcome our Caribbean and Latin American neighbors when we play host to over 2,000 artistes.

The Festival had a “soft launch,” titled A Window to CARIFESTA, on Tuesday at Hilton Trinidad poolside, hosted by Minister of Community Development, Culture and Gender Affairs Joan Yuille Williams.
