So I was finally got around to providing a glimpse of the MOST FAMOUS FESTIVAL for Tobagonians, The Famous Tobago Heritage Festival
The
Tobago Heritage Festival is an annual cultural event in Tobago that was
conceptualized by renowned Tobagonian anthropologist Dr. J. D. Elder, and was
started as a pilot project in 1986
The Festival takes from the middle of July to early August.
Villagers from different communities participate and perform with folk singing,
dancing and feasting. Traditional Village life is depicted with villagers
wearing traditional clothing and re-enacting traditional village life.
Throughout
the entire Heritage period visitors can visit the many villages throughout the
island and partake in the activities and if you link up with a Tobagonian Food
is guaranteed free
During the year each Community has its own festival or
heritage and the highlight is Food. Persons in the village cook and once you
come with a Tobagonian link up food is free. You can literally go from house to
house and eat, if you know "yuh
belly full" don't go to people house and refuse food, they will feel
insulted.
