Toronto Caribbean Carnival 2023

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

The Toronto Caribbean Carnival is a spectacular display of costumes, music, and culture. This year, we're celebrating the 56th 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.
