For the past 18 years, WeBeat has been a stimulus for small businesses in the community, provided a forum for artists to showcase their talents, and contributed significantly to the elevation of St. James as a major entertainment venue in the capital city. The St. James CIC (Community Improvement Committee) won the bpTT Leader Award in 2002 for its innovation of WeBeat St. James Live.
The WeBeat St. James Live Committee would like to thank its title sponsor The Office of The Prime Minister Sport & Cultural Fund, Angostura Limited, Carib, National Flour Mills, bmobile, National Carnival Commission, Rent-a-Amp, i95.5fm and WACK 90.1fm, and the Lions Club of Port of Spain North for living up to its corporate responsibility in ensuring its continuance.
WeBeat St. James Live is indigenous to St. James. It started as an event in
commemoration of the 63rd anniversary of St. James being incorporated into the
city of Port-of-Spain in 2001.
