Caribbean Airlines said the “Flavour and Flora,” held last Saturday, July 13, at the Hilton, Trinidad was a success. Part proceeds from the event will be donated to hurricane victims. The sold-out culinary extravaganza showcased top chefs from across the region, presenting an elaborate and sophisticated menu that celebrated the rich diversity of Caribbean cuisine.
Lucky patrons attending the event also won tickets to the airline’s newest destination- Puerto Rico.
Set against a backdrop of exotic Caribbean flora, with stilt walkers artfully disguised as tropical foliage, patrons were treated to a truly authentic Caribbean culinary and cultural experience. The event featured captivating performances by renowned artists Leandra and Soca superstar Machel Montano, whose unplugged performance captivated the audience with his signature high-energy style.
“Flavour and Flora” is part of Caribbean Airlines’ broader initiative to use culture as a unifying influence within the region. This event follows the successful launch of “Culture in D’Park” during the Trinidad Carnival and the regional T10 Caribbean Village Cricket Tournament, further solidifying the airline’s commitment to promoting Caribbean culture.
Garvin Medera, CEO of Caribbean Airlines, commented on the importance of the airline’s cultural initiatives: “At Caribbean Airlines, we believe in the power of culture to connect people. Events like ‘Flavour and Flora’ are essential in bringing our region together and highlighting the exceptional talent and diversity we have to offer. We are thrilled with the success of this event and look forward to making it an annual tradition. I am also happy to share that part proceeds will be donated to support victims of Hurricane Beryl in the region”.
Caribbean Airlines intends for “Flavour and Flora” to become a staple on its event calendar, continuing to showcase the culinary talent and cultural diversity of the Caribbean
