Scarborough, Tobago – June 20, 2024 – This year, the Tobago Heritage Festival will go ahead without several highly anticipated events, including the Les Coteaux Tales and Superstitions, Pembroke’s Salaka Feast, and Black Rock’s Sea Festival. Due to funding changes for this year’s festival, some villages opted not to host events, leading to alterations in the traditional calendar.
Watson Duke, Political Leader of the Progressive Democratic Patriots, publicly expressed his sadness over this news.
