For anyone who’s in T&T on Monday Saturday 15th August 2009, there’s the first ever Trinidad and Tobago Mango Festival being held at the IICA office, 10 Austin Street, St. Augustine from 9.00 a.m.- 6.00 p.m.
Chennette's Mangoes
The event is hosted by the Caribbean Network of Rural Women Producers and supported by IICA. More information available here.
The Mango Festival: a day of fun, education, community, and good tastes, celebrates the short season of mango abundance. The event includes activities for all age groups, story telling, “smell and name the mango”, best mango chow, best mango display and mango eating competitions. The members of the Network will have on sale tasty mango products, from the sweet: jellies, pastries, drinks, ice creams – to the spicy: chows, pickles, marinades, and for the exotic: beauty products and culinary innovations.
What really grabs me is the “smell and name the mango” competition – I figure that is one where young people just cannot compete. As it is, I don’t know half the mangoes my parents grew up with and they salivate at the mere mention of the name! I imagine they can remember the scents…So I’d come out just to see the varieties 
Although tasting some good mango chows is also extremely tempting!
