The NGC Children’s Festival is back! This year we're extending a special invitation to Primary Schools to register their students for an interactive storytelling and performance session:
Murchison Brown Auditorium City Hall, Port of Spain, Thursday 25 April/Friday 26 April 10 am - 12 pm or 12 pm-2 pm
Friday 10a.m.-12p.m. is fully booked.
This occasion is hosted by His Worship the Mayor Chinua Alleyne, and The Port of Spain Corporation, and has the full support of the Ministry of Education. The Ministry’s Approval letter accompanies this invitation.
Hundreds of students and teachers from primary schools across the nation greet each other, uniting at the event. Our theme this year throughout the festival is, “Imagine The Future, New Voices”.
