The Caribbean Night will focus on highlighting various forms of Cultural Expressions in dance, song and drama from Trinidad and Tobago and the wider Caribbean. The idea is to have a festive night of pure non-stop and varied entertainment which centers on the celebration of our ancestral joys and the loud proclamation of our Heritage as well as the wider Caribbean support for that spirit. The various cultural forms to be included in the show are zouk, calypso, reggae, jazz and afro calypso to name a few. |

Each year the Festival generates huge amounts of activities in Tobago. To some extent Trinidad contributes to the brouhaha as persons from the bigger island seek their roots or just come to the parties. Corporate entities are not slow to realise the potential for visibility and indeed some firms have 'bought into' particular segments heavily enough to create concern that the festdays become too heavily branded. It is a peculiar situation, but money does make the world spin as the saying goes. Money for the festival comes mainly from the Tobago House of Assembly(THA), a local arm of the central goverment. The THA usually foots the infrastructural output, at an annual cost approaching 3 million dollars (US$5000K). Other money, for prizes, costumes and so on, comes from the business sector Here are the sponsors who seem to buy into the Heritage Festival each year. The names appear to the right of the event they underwrite.
