The Toronto Caribbean Carnival will return from July to August 2024, culminating in a weekend-long celebration in August.
The Toronto Caribbean Carnival is a spectacular display of costumes, music, and culture. This year, we’re celebrating the 57th anniversary of the Grande Parade, which was first gifted to Canada by the Caribbean Community during Canada’s centennial celebrations.
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.
