Hundreds of people flocked to the International Waterfront Centre in Port of Spain on Saturday for a taste of the region’s diverse culinary flavours.

Food, fashion, drinks and music all came together at the Caribbean Beach Food Festival 2026, as patrons sampled dishes from across the region during the one-day showcase on Saturday.

Local artisan and Chief Creator of Bead IT TT, Tekesha Watson, said she has been part of the festival for the past three years and believes it fills an important gap for locals who may not have the opportunity to travel.
