Wonderful Wanderlust

Re-energised by the Caesar’s Army committee and enhanced with a simpler new layout, one stage for all performers and a plethora of tasty dishes and premium and exotic beverages from around the world, the event attracted hundreds and received a stamp of approval from the majority of patrons.

Themed Wanderlust - Taste The World, the food court was sectioned by countries with renowned and assorted dishes and desserts representing popular locations like Africa, France, Mexico and India among others. One huge main stage made watching the entertainment straightforward and simple even as “Wanderlust” featured performances from top acts such as: Dil-ENadan, Roy Cape All Stars with Blaxx, Tizzy and Ricardo Drue, as well as special guests Teddyson John, Voice and Bajan superstar, Rupert “Rupee” Clarke.

Road March King Machel Montano also delivered his first full band performance of the season. Montano took the stage just after sunset and energised the crowd with his extensive catalogue of past and present hit selections. Commenting on his public peacemaking display earlier that morning with Bunji Garlin at another event, Montano appealled to criminal elements to cease and desist from “spoiling beautiful TT .” He told the crowd at UWI: “This morning was one of the most important mornings of my life... Here wha we want: we want a clean Carnival... If we could make peace, then the war could cease! And we could have a peaceful Trinidad and Tobago, wha yuh say?” Patrons also left raving about the innumerable “cool” and “trendy” tokens and keepsakes distributed randomly at different times during the event, including: cups, rags, fans and other branded merchandise.
