As Trinidad and Tobago prepares to mark Emancipation Day, organisers of the Pan African Festival TT are once again using culture, education, and dialogue to reconnect the region with its African heritage.

Formally launched in 1992, the Pan African Festival TT has long highlighted the richness and diversity of African culture and its integration into the Caribbean.

Under the theme Igniting African Consciousness: Dismantling Colonial Legacies, the 2026 festival aims to continue celebrating Africa outside of Africa, with a series of events beginning in June and culminating around Emancipation Day.
