Tribute to Caribbean Carnival
Toronto is home to the largest Caribbean Carnival in North America. It is known as Caribana although these days it is being called Caribbean Carnival. The parade has it's roots in Trinidad, but there is a lot of participation from the other islands. People take all year preparing costumes and steel pan routines and it is an all day event. We are trying to find some bands from the region to celebrate this Caribana's return.
