“Imagine New Worlds” – Special Children’s Event
In collaboration with His Worship the Mayor Raymond Tim Kee, and The Port of Spain Corporation.
On Thursday 24 April 2014, His Worship The Mayor of Port of Spain hosted the third City Hall event for children, organised and produced by the Bocas Lit Fest. Children from schools all over the country assembled for a day of creative fun with some leading children’s entertainers, artists and musicians.
From Friday 25 to Sunday 27 April, the children’s caravan joined the adult festival at NALIS for three days of workshops, authors’ readings, screenings of local animated films, and the last of the NGC Children’s Bocas Lit Fest storytelling events. Click here for NALIS programme details.
