Discover Trinidad & Tobago 2016 — 25th Anniversary Edition
With our 2016 edition (our 27th), we celebrate 25 years of producing Discover Trinidad & Tobago. Published every year since 1991, Discover Trinidad & Tobago is aimed both at international visitors planning a trip to the islands – whether for an eco adventure, business trip, or beach holiday – and at local Trinbagonians looking to know and explore more about their native islands. Our comprehensive coverage of Trinidad and Tobago — from arts and culture to eco adventures, accommodation to sports, planning flights and transportation and more — can help anyone plan anything from a day trip or weekend escape, to a full-on an adventure holiday or leisurely vacation. It might take a lifetime to truly experience all that the islands have to offer, but at least we can show you where to start.

Markets & trade fairs<br />
The San Antonio Green Market in Santa<br />
Cruz (Saturday mornings) is a one-stop<br />
shop for just about everything fresh and<br />
local <strong>—</strong> produce, meats and fish, juices,<br />
signature local dishes, chocolate, home<br />
and personal care items, and much more,<br />
all in the context of a range of familyfriendly<br />
activities. The monthly UpMarket<br />
is a monthly gathering of local artisans and<br />
their work at the Woodbrook Youth Centre<br />
in Port of Spain. Travelling trade fairs from<br />
India have become a regular event, offering<br />
great prices on Indian clothes, jewellery<br />
and more.<br />
There are five major shopping malls in<br />
<strong>Trinidad</strong>: The Falls at West Mall (Westmoorings)<br />
and Long Circular Mall<br />
(St James) just outside Port of Spain;<br />
Trincity Mall near Piarco airport; Grand<br />
Bazaar (Valsayn); and Gulf City (San<br />
Fernando). There are several smaller<br />
shopping plazas and mini-malls as well.<br />
Downtown<br />
High street shopping happens in <strong>Trinidad</strong>’s<br />
major towns, including Frederick and Charlotte<br />
streets (Port of Spain); High Street<br />
(San Fernando); and Main Street (Chaguanas).<br />
Around Carnival time, the southeast<br />
side of the Savannah is transformed into a<br />
centre for local arts and crafts. At Emancipation<br />
time, it becomes a hub for African<br />
arts and culture.<br />
