Discover Trinidad & Tobago 2017 (#28)
Published every year since 1991, Discover T&T helps readers discover where to stay, dine, lime, party, and shop; and what to see (including the islands’ best sites) and experience (festivals, arts and culture, sports, and eco escapes), in both islands. There’s also a national calendar of events; info on getting here and getting around; tips for safe and sustainable travel; T&T history and society in a nutshell, maps; and more. For the second edition in the row, the magazine features a distinctive dual-cover design, with one cover for each island — Trinidad's Gasparee Caves (captured by Stephen Reyes) and a leatherback turtle hatchling in Tobago (captured by Giancarlo Lalsingh). Discover T&T is aimed at local and international explorers planning getaways to the islands — whether for an eco adventure, business trip, or beach holiday.

Take in a different kind<br />
of show …<br />
Speaking of headliners, you can catch both living<br />
legends and the stars of the moment at a range<br />
of shows — including their own. There are a handful<br />
of vintage calypso tents; intimate concert<br />
events (like Under the Trees); huge concerts<br />
by soca stars (like Machel Montano and KES)<br />
and party promoters. There are more theatrical<br />
events like 3canal’s annual Carnival show and<br />
the Canboulay Riots Re-enactment (staged<br />
the Friday morning before Carnival, commemorating<br />
the 1881 Carnival-time uprising against<br />
British colonial authorities). On the Friday night<br />
before Carnival, the Soca Monarch final is a<br />
combination of party and competition, featuring<br />
some of the best soca artists in the region. And<br />
Champs in Concert features all the winners in a<br />
show just after Carnival.<br />
Machel Montano performs at CIC Fete<br />
Catch the pan jumbie …<br />
For some, Carnival is pan. Full stop. Steelpan<br />
aficionados hit the panyards of their favourite<br />
steelbands for weeks as they practise for the<br />
Panorama finals (Carnival Saturday). Those<br />
successfully adjudicated on site early in the season<br />
advance to the semi-finals at the Queen’s<br />
Park Savannah two weeks before Carnival. Real<br />
pan lovers will be in the Grand Stand, or on the<br />
drag/track that leads to the Savannah stage —<br />
bands practise and fine-tune as they go.<br />
