Trinidad and Tobago is a land made up of people of many different ethnic origins, except for a very few, we all live in peace and harmony many times side by side, it is not uncommon to find a Hindu temple next to a Muslim Mosque with the people of different religions worshipping in their own way in peace. We therefore have many religious festivals and more recently some that celebrate the music and culture of the peoples of Trinidad and Tobago. Below are some of the festivals and links to some events happening annually in Trinidad and Tobago.
