UWI Fete marches to Caesar’s Army

They unveiled the theme, Wanderlust – Taste the World for the Fete scheduled for January 29, 2017 from noon to 8 pm at the UWI St Augustine grounds of the Office of the Campus Principal.

Chairman of UWIDEF Ewart Williams welcomed the new management at the event launch, a media release said, emphasising that, “UWI Fete has always been known for its quality ever since its inception as the country’s first all-inclusive fete – we aim to raise expectations. Having Caesar’s Army as our event management team for 2017, will undoubtedly raise the bar once again.” More than just a party, 2017’s UWI Fete continues in the tradition of giving back where all proceeds go towards fund-raising for scholarships and bursaries for deserving students. Jules Sobion, CEO of Caesar’s Army expressed his desire to create “an enhanced experience – not just a party or fete. There will be something for everyone; a mix of the old and the new.” He elaborated that this year’s theme is set to be a “Foodie’s Paradise.” Patrons will have the opportunity to have a taste of the foods from six territories – Africa, China and India – three previous themes of UWI Fete and new countries will be explored namely France, Italy and Mexico.

The UWI Fete’s performance lineup thus far include Machel Montano, Roy Cape All Stars and Dil-e-Nadan. More acts will be revealed in the New Year.

To mark the launch of the fete, Caesar’s Army asked attendees to keep their eyes on the sky on Tuesday afternoon. A light aircraft, itself representing the event’s theme “Wanderlust” and travel, was later seen in Port-of-Spain and environs carrying the words UWI Fete Wanderlust.

The fete continues to be possible due to steadfast dedication of the UWIDEF Committee. Their work continues to provide the young people of TT and the region with opportunities for higher education despite the challenging economic environment nationally, regionally and internationally.
