About This Event
Boca is the Spanish word for mouth — the organ of speech and song and storytelling. And the Bocas del Dragón — the Dragon’s Mouths — are the narrow straits off Trinidad’s northwest peninsula, which connect the sheltered Gulf of Paria to the open Caribbean Sea. For centuries, the Bocas were the gateways connecting Trinidad to the Caribbean and the Atlantic.
NGC is the National Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago, our title sponsor. Their generous support makes the festival possible.
The Bocas Prize for Caribbean Literature is presented during this festival.
