For people who haven’t been paying attention, it turns out that The Bahamas is going to host CARIFESTA after all, earlier than originally announced.
Trinidad and Tobago has agreed to let The Bahamas host the Caribbean Festival of Creative Arts (CARIFESTA) in 2010, Prime Minister Hubert Ingraham announced Saturday.
He made the disclosure during a press conference at the conclusion of the Caricom conference, held in Nassau last week. The Bahamas was supposed to host the festival in 2012, but Trinidad and The Bahamas have swapped places. This will be the first time the country has hosted the festival.

Hi Nicolette,
I was really surprised when I learnt that Carifesta was to be held in Guyana. Thanks for the update. It seems that quite a lot of persons who are really passionate about our culture and heritage are being marginalised. Good luck on the new job.
Heather
