About usAbout
Tobago Carnival
Tobago Carnival is a liberating festival of cultural expressions. It is a celebration of freedom, creativity, and unbridled energy. Indeed, Tobago is ready to take on the world and pronounce its interpretation of “the greatest show on earth.”
We will flaunt our difference, as Tobago-centric uniqueness abounds. This is our unique selling proposition! Our peculiar biography predetermines our disposition, rendering us as forward-thinking cultural activists. It is our mandate to birth a distinctive celebration steeped in folk tradition, paying homage to our heritage while embracing modern significance for a sustainable, relevant festival.
Blessed by its historical, cultural and, above all, geographic characteristics, Tobago Carnival possesses a hypnotic allure—grounded in tradition yet infused with contemporary spirit.
We are perfectly poised to set in motion a historic variation of the Carnival ethos. Staged just one month after the fall equinox in the Northern Hemisphere and the beginning of spring in the Southern Hemisphere, it is ideally positioned to attract international travelers seeking a new and vibrant experience.
It is our duty to align with the signals, identify with the indicators, follow the socio-cultural lead and acknowledge the ordained markings on the wall. We aim to etch an ineffaceable notch on the totem pole of Carnival declarations.
Traditional meets contemporary
Rustic meets beauty
Mud meets masquerade
Enigma meets majesty
