The Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO) is bringing the sights, sounds and flavors of destinations from across the region to the Big Apple June 3-9, 2012 for Caribbean Week New York.  As part of the week’s festivities, the Caribbean Travel & Cultural Fair, on Wednesday, June 6 from 10:00am to 7:00pm, will heat up Grand Central Terminal with an island-style wedding, exclusive travel deals and more.

The free event will be one of the biggest and most vibrant fairs as attendees will be thrilled by Caribbean entertainers.  Commuters, locals and travelers can enjoy a slice of Caribbean life with authentic music and dance performances.

The fair will showcase vendors from various Caribbean destinations, and consumers will have the opportunity to book exclusive Caribbean Week travel deals.  Also, one lucky couple will tie the knot in a Caribbean-themed ceremony in the iconic New York City landmark.  From the bride’s dress to the wedding cake to the honeymoon, the Caribbean has spared no expense to make their Caribbean dream come true!  For more, go to: www.CaribbeanWeekNY.com.
