Enjoy these festivals. There are lots more but these are by far some of my favourites.

Let's not forget the Tobago Jazz Festival - with Elton John headlining it should be a good show! http://www.tobagojazzfest.com/

So true indeed. This festival has become one of the best festival the Caribbean has to offer

Great thread johannesj - we're supposed to be moving to T&T later this year :D so will look forward to it even more so with this list to guide us!

Ok I have added hyperlinks to the Events' Official Websites. Some of the sites still reflect information from the 2006 festivals but keep checking as I anticipate that these would change as the festival dates and artists line up get confirmed.

Expatboy - hurry up and get to the Caribbean you will love it. Trinidad is amazing, I lived there for 3 years and if I am not mistaken peter1962 who posted earlier in this thread is based there.

I wish I could hurry up - sadly my company aren't that organised! :( Looking forward to getting there eventually :cool:

Hi expatboy, feel free to ask if you have questions about Trinidad & Tobago - I'll answer what I can - you may want to look at some of these sites.

Hey the St. Lucia Jazz Festival is almost upon us 4 - 13 May. Will any FTer's be there?

Just got invited and was wondering if there was an opportunity to link up with fellow FTers. Is any one going to be in Antigua at the same time. Maybe we could check out "lay day" (day of rest and festivities for the sailors). It is a very lovely event.
