FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
New Date and Venue Announced for the 2025 Miss Point Fortin Borough Queen Pageant
The Management Committee of the Miss Point Fortin Borough Queen Pageant wishes to officially inform the public of the rescheduled date and venue for the 2025 edition of the pageant.
Originally carded for Saturday, April 26th, the event was postponed due to the scheduling of Trinidad and Tobago’s General Elections on April 28th. The committee unanimously agreed that hosting the show on April 26th would have been unwise, as all major political parties planned their final national rallies for that same day. Additionally, our intended venue, Point Fortin East Secondary School, was also a designated polling station .
In our commitment to host the event as close as possible to the original date, we explored rescheduling to May 31st, based on initial (unofficial) indications that the school would be available. Unfortunately, we were later informed by the school principal that the venue would be unavailable due to ongoing examinations during that period.
Determined that the show must go on, we began scouting alternate locations within Point Fortin. However, we did not receive the necessary confirmations from other local venues. Faced with the difficult decision of either cancelling the event or moving it outside of the borough, we explored venues further afield. We contacted both the Naparima Bowl and the Southern Academy for the Performing Arts (SAPA). While both were fully booked throughout May, June 15th was available at Naparima Bowl and June 20th at SAPA.
While we sought official approval for both, confirmation from SAPA came through first, and we made the tough—but necessary—decision to host the pageant at SAPA.
We delayed our public announcement until formal confirmation and venue booking were secured, as we wanted to ensure transparency and avoid any misinformation.
This decision to continue the pageant, despite the setbacks, was driven by our commitment to the seven exceptional delegates who had already been selected and were deep into their preparation. We could not in good conscience disappoint these young women who have committed themselves wholeheartedly to the journey.
Although not within the Borough Day celebratory period, , We are therefore proud to officially announce that the 2025 Miss Point Fortin Borough Queen Pageant – Legacy of Beauty, will now take place on:
Friday, June 20th (the Labour Day holiday) at the Southern Academy for the Performing Arts (SAPA). Showtime: 6:00 PM.
Tickets will be available online at Boro Queen. com, from all seven delegates, and at all publicised ticket outlets.
Ticket cost $175. Early attendees gets to choose their seats. Reserved VIP cost $375.
We invite the public to come out in support of our delegates and help us celebrate this cultural tradition that continues to showcase the grace, talent, and resilience of our young women.
