This major all-inclusive/fundraising event which is produced by Yorke Inc was truly the talk of the town and left attendees craving more after a unique assortment of powerhouse performances by T&T top 2017 Soca stars.

The event which this year was held at The University Inn and Conference Centre had the 2017 theme "Happy People" and guaranteed just that as the promoters pulled out all the stops to ensure the satisfaction of their patrons.

In addition to all the Soca heavy-hitters, unlike many major Carnival events, Yorke Fete 2017 showcased new up and coming Soca talent as well as the band Rhapsody NG which features the electronic or PHI-pan alongside powerful, energetic vocals.

Most notably, part proceeds of Yorke all-inclusive are donated to K.I.N.D (Kids in Need of Direction) a Laventille based organization that aids children in need; and also towards an annual bursary to the U.W.I Alumni which assists needy students who require financial assistance to complete their education at U.W.I.
