The
Tobago Fest encourages
many visitors to the
island.
• It
was first held in 1998
and now takes place
annually from October 3
rd. to 5th.
• This
festival which has a
carnival theme and
includes a parade of the
bands, art, historical
exhibitions and fetes, is
especially attractive to
Trinidadian masqueraders
because of the quite low
hotel rates available at
this time.
• Band-leaders,
masqueraders, disc
jockeys and musicians
from all over Trinidad
and elsewhere journey to
Tobago to join in the fun
and excitement.
• Although
the event is low-keyed
compared to Trinidad
Carnival, the Tobago Fest
is something you should
plan to see.
• The
Tobago Fest opens with a
Festival Queen
competition in
Roxborough, followed
early next morning - 4
a.m., by a J'ouvert
parade in the village of
Plymouth.
• Later,
there is a parade of
costumed bands on the
streets of Scarborough,
the island's capital.
• On
the following day a beach
fete at Store Bay that
includes bikini and wet
t-shirt competitions
climaxes the Tobago Fest.
