Current Events

Carnival (Jan - Feb)
The two days of Carnival in Trinidad and Tobago are not official public holidays - but they might as well be - almost everyone is out on the streets, dancing, 'jumping up', 'wining down' and basically having a ball.

Tobago Heritage Festival
The festival, spanning a two-week period from mid July to early August, is an annual celebration of the heritage by way of dance, song, music and cuisine.

World Steelpan Music Fest
Experience the rhapsody of the 'pan as steelbands from around the world join their counterparts in Trinidad and Tobago to participate in the World Steelband Music Festival.

Hosay
Hosay is an Islamic festival observed by Shi'a Muslims throughout the world - and the celebration was brought to Trinidad as early as 1845. Although referred to as a festival, Hosay really isn't - at least, not in the strictest sense of the word.

Phagwa
This is a spring festival corresponding to the springtime months of March and April. It is primarily a Hindu festival, but as with all observances in our multi-ethnic, multi-religious country, the wider community always gets involved - even if it is to just watch and admire.

Divali
This is the largest Hindu festival in our islands, taking place in the month of Karthik - October-November on the Hindu calendar. This national holiday is celebrated on what is said to be the darkest night of the year.
