What differentiates us from the rest........
Harvest
Tobago is an island that still retains much of its rural charm, even residents in the more urban areas are known to give that warm smile and stop for a chat, lend a hand to an absolute stranger. The Harvest Festival captures that warm community spirit and renders it into song. For those of us new to the Harvest scene, you should know that a harvest is a day upon which the entire community gathers together to give thanks. There is usually a church service where thanksgiving is offered followed by a village fair atmosphere. People stop by their neighbors and partake of specially prepared dishes from island staples to favorites.
Fisherman Fete (Festival)
June is the month when
the Charlotteville and Speyside Fisherman's Fete takes place on Tobago's beautiful
Man O' War beach and this really is just an excuse for a party celebrating the
villagers hardworking fishermen.
Blue Food Festival
The coastal village of
Bloody Bay will once again be the destination of choice for epicureans as
thousands make their way to the community’s recreational grounds for the annual
Tobago Blue Food Festival in October.
The Blue Food Festival
provides a unique twist on the traditional culinary event with a focus on the
commonly used ground provision, dasheen. Low in sodium and gluten-free, the
root crop will be the inspiration for twenty-five cooks who will create dynamic,
tantalizing dishes that are not only tasty, but healthy as well.
Belly in hand indeed... Hungry now!!!
