Tobago Events Calender
Tobago Events Calender is abuzz with activities year round. Tourists and visitors to the island have a full list of activities all year and the added attraction is Tobago’s location. It is in the Southern Caribbean and way south of the regular hurricane belt. Hurricane Flora in 1963 was the last to hit the island. Therefore, visitors do not have to shy away from Tobago during the hurricane season which runs from June 1 through to November 30. |
