It has become part of Tobago’s rich tradition that Easter Monday is ‘Mt. Pleasant day’ in local palance. Well, the Carnbee/ Mt. Pleasant Community council has launched the annual event. This year would be the 41st staging of the sports and family day.
The Buccoo village council has proposed that more than one major goat race event be held in the village each year.
The sun came out in all its glory earlier as hundreds turned out to witness the 87th edition of the annual Buccoo Goat and Crab Race on Easter Tuesday. To some it was a customary event but to others it was an eye filling activity and one that consumed their full attention.
Easter Monday labeled Derby day in Tobago as many flocked to the Mt. Pleasant Recreation Grounds to take in the annual Goat Race and Sports Day. This year marked 40 years since the beginning of the event and was set to be a very special day for those attending.
From all reports Tobago is the place to be to celebrate Easter. Tobago Channel Five news journeyed to one of the popular beaches in Tobago, Store Bay where we chatted with some visitors from the sister isle.
