Caribana is a big, bold, colourful festival celebrating Caribbean music, cuisine, and culture. Introduced in the late 60s, Toronto's Caribana is one of the largest festivals of its kind in North America and a huge international draw. The festival officially began in June, but this weekend is when the real craziness takes place: a parade, concerts, club events and more - all with plenty of Caribbean energy and spice.
