CELEBRATING 56 YEARS OF FREEDOM

ON DE ROAD AGAIN

We are ecstatic to announce the return of the Toronto Caribbean Carnival this July to August, which culminates in a 4-day celebration from August 3rd to 7th, 2023.

Celebrating the 56th anniversary of the Grande Parade which was first gifted to Canada by the Caribbean Community during Canada’s centennial celebrations, the Toronto Caribbean Carnival is a spectacular display of costumes, music, and culture.

This Caribbean tradition of parading through the street was founded in celebration of freedom and emancipation from slavery and is appropriately celebrated on what has been recognized by the Canadian government as Emancipation Day weekend.
