This year's September Celebrations start unofficially this weekend with the Soca Madness Face Off and Dance Off.
To be sure, there's a very full schedule of events following after that. Today the BTB - which is marketing this 30th anniversary of independence along with NICH which is organizing all the creative types - met with the media to discuss coverage: that is how are you going to see and hear it.
Shari Williams told us more:
Shari Williams - NICH Communications Officer
"We want to make life easier for the media in order that they can share the spirit of the celebration with the people."

"So what should the public expect?"
Shari Williams
"The public should expect a lot coming this year. The media houses in this meeting - several things were decided. One is that no station - even though we've been approached by several for exclusivity - will have exclusivity over any of the national celebrations, because it is a national event. It's for the people, and so we want everybody to be able to access them, and to enjoy it. We at NICH, we want to promote culture in such a way that it becomes an income earner just tourism."
