Did you know that in 1987 the Tobago Heritage Festival began with events in five villages: Moriah, Les Coteaux, Buccoo, Charlotteville, and Roxborough?
With the growth of the Festival over the years, several other villages joined in, showcasing other aspects of Tobago’s history and culture.
This year, there will be 18 events held between July 16th and August 1st.
In this report, Kandace Jackson takes a look at the original five and the effect they had on the communities and the Festival’s future.
