Point Fortin Borough Day marks the anniversary of Point Fortin's 1980 elevation to borough status, the smallest borough in Trinidad and Tobago. The southwestern town, whose growth was shaped by the oil industry, hosts community celebrations around the anniversary each year.
Point Fortin's identity is closely tied to Trinidad's oil industry, the town grew around petroleum operations before declining after the end of the oil boom, and Borough Day celebrations give the community, officially the Republic Borough of Point Fortin, a chance to mark local civic identity distinct from Trinidad's larger cities
The town is also known for hosting a major annual Carnival-season event, the Point Fortin Borough Day festivities have historically included large fetes and entertainment as part of the wider southwest Trinidad social calendar
Borough Day observances in Trinidad and Tobago's smaller municipalities generally mark the civic milestone of borough or city status
paired with community entertainment and local pride events distinct from
though sometimes overlapping with
the national Carnival calendar
