It’s an all-inclusive fete

“Crave The Event,” an all-inclusive party, will be held on Saturday evening at Ontario Place in Toronto to help kick off Trinidad and Tobago’s 60^th independence anniversary celebrations.

(The anniversary date is August 31.)

The party is organized in collaboration with House of Angostura, also known as Angostura Limited, a Trinidad and Tobago company which produces several brands of rum and the world famous Angostura bitters.

Organizers say “Crave The Event” is a “tribute” to Trinidad and Tobago’s “culinary prowess…and rum” and a wide range of the country’s “delicacies and drinks” will be available at the party which begins at 4 p.m. and continues until 10 p.m.
