Scarborough, Tobago – The Tobago Jazz Experience, the island’s annual showcase of local and international musical talent, will not take place in 2024. This decision stems from significant sustainability concerns with the festival’s current operational model.
Chief Secretary Farley Augustine hinted at a strategic shift towards private promoters managing future editions of the popular event. This move suggests a re-evaluation of how large-scale cultural events are funded and executed in Tobago, aiming for a more viable and enduring framework. The cancellation marks a temporary pause for one of Tobago’s key tourism and entertainment draws.
