With a good-sized crowd, decent weather, fantastic food and top-class entertainment laid out in attractive and hospitable surroundings, the 23rd edition of the UWI Fete was once again reviewed as an outstanding affair on the carnival agenda.

The Fete, noted as one of the primary fund-raising efforts by The UWI through the UWI Development and Endowment Fund to help students in need, came off on January 13 at its traditional home, the grounds of the Office of the Campus Principal.

Among entertainers were Stalin and David Rudder, Roy Cape, Dil-E-Nadan, JMC Triveni and Kes the Band. The food fare was sumptuous, with many booths featuring cuisine with Arabic or Syrian/Lebanese flavours to complement all the other culturally seasoned delicacies that were available.

Themed, Yalla!, a beautiful command (Let’s Go!), the Fete did indeed encourage quite a few to obey its summons. Here’s a sample of some of the images captured by photographers: Benedict Cupid, Yohann Govia and Aneel Karim.
