Entertainment – Caribana A Toronto Tradition

It all started back in 1967,  Toronto’s Caribbean community’s gave this world renowned event to salute Canada’s Centennial year. Now in its second millennium, Toronto Caribbean Carnival (Caribana) Festival is one of North America’s greatest celebrations, attracting an estimated million participants annually.

The origin of the festival we enjoy today is Rooted in Trinidad and Tobago Carnival. Our Caribbean Festival has become an international festival where you might experience a wide variety of music such as Jamaican reggae, Brazilian samba or African djembe rhythms alongside Latin salsa, Haitian zouk or urban sounds, all are blended with calypso and soca vibes.

The Festival takes place over a whole week and traditionally coincides with the Ontario statutory holiday Simcoe Day (the 1st monday of August). This holiday named after John Graves Simcoe who along with other is credited with abolishing slavery in Upper Canada in 1810.

Caribana is definitely Toronto’s largest and best known festival.  Each summer-time visitors come from all over the world to see the Biggest Mas Festival outside of Brazil . The Parade takes place over 5 hours from start to finish and the party on Olympic island is an event all by itself with many types of entertainment.

Have you made your arrangements today its a mistake to leave it to the last minute as visitors come back year over year and book there hotels well in advance 12 months in some cases!

Entertainment – Toronto Festivals and Events

Toronto Festivals And Events

Toronto is a great place we are continually disrupting traffic and causing gridlock all in the name of charity and an overall good time.

I love this city! Just when you think there is nothing to do something pops up. We often take city living for granted sometimes we forget what is really out there for us in our own communities.

So diverse are we there are events held by many different cultures and the best thing is hey food……
