- Isabela The Trinidad Carnival January 5th It is the oldest and the largest of all those celebrated in the Caribbean. On Carnival Monday, the first music groups and the public roam the streets. During the day there is the highest concentration of traditional bands, known as Pretty Mas. All bands compete for the title of "Band of the Year", on the colossal stage of Queen’s Park Savannah. On top of all this jubilant expression, the kings and queens of the carnival are elected. Music is one of the main ingredients of the event; a traditional instrument is the steelpan, which has its origins in these Islands.
- Isabella Calipso: A medium for political and social satire, calypso hearkens back to the days when enslaved Africans – prohibited from talking whilst toiling on the plantations – would sing in patois, sharing gossip and news while mocking their colonial masters. Chutney: Chutney songs celebrate social situations – everything from women witnessing a birth to men partying at a bar. It’s a fusion of classical Hindu music with more contemporary soca, and can't fail to get you wiggling your hips. Soca: The energetic offspring of calypso, soca was born in the 1970s, and uses the same basic beat but speeds things up, creating danceable rhythms that perfectly accompany the Carnival season.

In many restaurants, the Spanish influence is the most evident in the famous Creole dish, which is a perfect lunch of stewed peas, rice and meat. When certain types of roots and vegetables are added to the dish, it would show an African influence. Chinese food can be found in almost every corner of the islands. Other foods have also the influence of the Lebanese, French, Italian, Indian and Thai Breakfast consists traditionally of bacon, eggs and toasts, but the local people always find a great dish to start the morning with what is known locally as Buljol. For lunch or dinner, Callalo, which is a national dish of African origin, is served occasionally. This is thick sauce that accompanies meat or vegetables. Another popular dish in the islands is Cascadura, a fresh water fish served stewed, stuffed or curried with coconut.
