The opening act for the festival was no other than Trinidad and Tobago’s living Calypso legend Calypso Rose. During the festival Trinidad and Tobago was represented by a steel band, local food and of course Calypso Rose. A brand new film about the 5 time winner of the Calypso Queen title was shown as well.
