Titiwi snacks, main courses and drinks were available for all to enjoy at Layou yesterday when the community observed its Titiwi Festival.
Beginning on Saturday, Dominicans were able to taste the miniature fish prepared in almost every possible way: titiwi sancouche, titiwi mac and cheese, titiwi acra, titiwi pizza, titiwi lasagna, titiwi balls, titiwi broth, titiwi soup, smoked titiwi, pudding, and even titiwi rum punch.
The festival was not only for the hungry but those seeking musical entertainment as patrons were treated with performances from several bands including WCK .
Here are a few pictures of yesterday’s event.

Bwoii… that making sweff a titiwi…. just last weekend i called home and begged my granny to save some titiwi in the freezer for me for Creole fest…. but … these pictures there having me more sweff….
By the way… why don’t they have one of these things closer to November 3, that way, when the visitors come home some of them can get a taste of that… i feel like coming home for creole fest for two weeks is pretty much standard since not many people get lots more vacation time in these foreign countries.. so perhaps they should have a fest which yould be closer to Nov 3…
why not a crab fest, frog fest, bwie go fest, veo fest… i’ll even take a titiwi fest … i’m just dropping names of things i can remember..but at the same time, it is just Food for thought…since my Canadian mouth is bavaying…..
My mouth watered too, I even remembered the feeling of hunger, which I had forgotten for the such a long time. And now I cannot believe that my plans to visit home is still two years away. Just to let you guys, who are away somewhere out there like me, know that you really made me laugh-out-loud!!! I love that!

I love titiwi so much that my mouth start to water just by seeing all what we can do with it. the best i love is the titiwi acra… man can someone send me some… DA is so blessed with such lovely and tasty food
The Titiwi Festival is a wonderful and welcome addition to Dominica’s Events Calendar. This is a very novel event and it must be supported and packaged in a manner that will create economic opportunities for Dominica and in particular the people of the Lagoon community.
The Discover Dominica Authority and the Dominica Festivals Committee must work with the Layou Improvement Committee to review the pros and cons of making this event into a sustainable annual event and hope it is properly packaged to ensure that the event creates economic opportunities and benefits to the people of Layou and Dominica.
Best wishes for future successful staging of the Titiwi Festival.
oh boy i miss that .my mouth watering .
a little off the topic but the most hurtful thing i have seen on my last visit to dominica was the dreadful sight of kfc directly in front of our market. how can the nature island disrespect their culture like that, yet you turn around and ask why are our young people so out of touch. you are busy importing foreign (american) culture into the nature isle in the form of their music, food and with that comes her violent culture. now i see that pizza hut is coming. what a shame. we need to take a page from the book of the real nature island (bvi). our rivers alone are not enough to make us the nature isl of the caribbean. lets keep it strictly local.
Lord my mouth watering lol
