Toronto's Caribbean Festival

Posted by GiuliaFalsetti 28 June 2011

Toronto’s Caribbean Carnival, formerly known as Caribana, is an event showcasing Caribbean culture, offering traditional music, cuisine, and performing arts. The organizers call it North America’s largest street festival, attended by over 1 million visitors each year. While Caribana runs for two weeks, the festival is highlighted in the final weekend when the street Parade of Bands occurs. The parade is made up of a series of steel bands, live soca, calypso, reggae and salsa performers and masqueraders that
compete for best costumes. There is also a two-day Caribbean art festival on Olympic Island.
