September 26, 2016: In 2015, Tobago’s Annual Blue Food Festival was rated by the US Cable Channel CNN as one of the World’s best food festivals. This year, organisers are hoping to make the event even better. Held at the Bloody Bay Recreation Ground, the Festival provides a unique twist on traditional culinary events, highlighting the indigenous dasheen.
Secretary of Tourism and Transportation, Assemblyman Tracy Davidson-Celestine said the village councils of Bloody Bay, L’Anse Fourmi and Parlatuvier on Tobago’s north coast are collaborating with the Division to stage the event.
“The fair has evolved,” the Tourism Secretary declared, “and continues to intrigue and attract many locals as well as visitors regional and international interested in sampling the innovative entrees, inventive
appetizers, creative desserts and robust liqueurs on sale.”
All menus are prepared by residents of these communities. The event will also feature live entertainment, a kids’ fun zone, live demonstrations and other attractions.
This year's Blue Food Festival will take place on October 16.
