According to The Friends of the Blood Bank Association, patrons will get "more than the usual fete experience" on Sunday at the Trinidad Country Club, Maraval, from 2 to 9 pm. Blood Bank Fete is said by many to be the first ever all-inclusive Carnival fete to be held in Trinidad and Tobago, consistently receiving the blessings of presidents past and present.

In addition to the wide variety of food, drinks and entertainment options, patrons will also get the opportunity to walk away with thousands of dollars worth in door prizes, including airline tickets for two to Jamaica courtesy Caribbean Airlines, and a trip for two to Miami courtesy Ma Pau.
