Moriah Ole Time Wedding
Tobago, Trinidad and TobagoThe Moriah Ole Time Wedding re-enacts traditional Tobago weddings, showcasing European influence. Village elders fondly recall the "free for all" weddings, where guests would join a lively procession through Kitty Bamboo Gully to Lincoln Gap. The Moriah Ole Time Wedding, a highlight of the Tobago Heritage Festival, draws hundreds of spectators each year. Men wear black stovepipe hats, three-piece suits, bow ties, gloves, and umbrellas for their partners. Women, equally stunning, don bustle dresses, wide-brimmed hats decorated with flowers, and plenty of jewellery. Wedding activities start on Friday with Bachelor Night featuring Tambrin music, traditional dancing, food, and drinks. On Saturday, the Bridal Affair showcases the bride's preparation, followed by the wedding, a trek to the reception, and a show. Weddings are lively affairs, with the bride and groom often teased by family or a jilted lover. To the sounds of fiddles and tambourines, guests "walk de wedding" and dance the "Brush Back" from the church to the streets. The reception features cultural entertainment, food, drinks, and hilarious speeches that keep everyone entertained. In true Tobago style, "come leh we go" for the unforgettable Moriah Ole Time Wedding experience.

Tobago, Trinidad and TobagoCalypso Rose, born MacCatha Lewis in Tobago, is a legendary icon in the calypso world. Starting her career at 15, she won the Calypso Queen competition five years in a row and broke the gender barrier in 1978 by winning the Calypso Monarch title with "I Thank Thee" and "Her Majesty." Rose has since taken Calypso Global, inspiring other women in the genre. Rose was the first woman to win the Road March title, holding it for 21 years until Sanell Dempster's "River" claimed the championship. In 1978, she was awarded the Medal of Merit by the Trinidad and Tobago Government, on the Queen's order. Shurwayne Winchester, a Caribbean soca artist from Tobago, began his musical journey at the age of 12. His talent for writing and singing impressive lyrics propelled him to success, allowing him to compete against top industry stars from a young age. He continues to bring variety and exclusivity to the soca genre, growing in both regional and international popularity. He gained valuable experience in the music business through his work with several bands, particularly Caribbean Traffic Jam, where he became a frontline singer. During his time with the band, Winchester won multiple Monarch and Road March titles. In 2004, he became Road March King with "The Band Coming," following up in 2005 with "Dead or Alive" to win again, solidifying his place in the industry. Inspired by limitless possibilities, the young man whose stage performance excites fans worldwide, formed his band, Y.O.U. (Yes One Unit), in late 2008, further breaking musical barriers. Mighty Shadow: Winston Bailey, known as The Mighty Shadow or Shadow, was born on October 2, 1941, in Belmont, Trinidad, and grew up in Les Coteaux, Tobago. He started singing at a young age, despite his grandfather's wish for him to become a lawyer. Shadow won the Road March in 1974 and 2001 with "Bassman" and "Stranger," respectively. He claimed the Calypso Monarch title in 2000 with "What's Wrong With Me" and "Scratch Meh Back." Known for his unique "skip-rope style" dance, he also received the Trinidad & Tobago Humming Bird Medal (Silver) in 2003. He was the first to win both the International Soca Monarch and Trinidad Road March competitions simultaneously in 2001 with his song "Stranger."
