Earlier this morning, His Worship the Mayor, Alderman Clyde James, alongside Deputy Mayor Councillor Kwesi Thomas and Alderman Bryana Fortune-John, appeared live on CNC3โs The Morning Brew with Jason Williams, engaging the nation in a vibrant discussion on the upcoming Point Fortin Borough Day Celebrations 2026.
This moment is particularly significant as it reflects the continued growth and national recognition of what has long been one of Trinidad and Tobagoโs most dynamic community festivals. For decades, Point Fortin Borough Day has evolved from a civic observance into a powerful cultural showcase, celebrating the resilience, creativity, and spirit of the people of Point Fortin. From calypso and steelpan to traditional mas, moko jumbies, and community parades, the celebrations have consistently highlighted the boroughโs deep-rooted contribution to our national identity.

Point Fortin is not just celebrating a day, it is celebrating a legacy. And as the festivities continue to grow in scale and significance, so too does our pride in a community that has helped shape the cultural heartbeat of Trinidad and Tobago.
