For another Caribbean parade also just one hour from TO, check out Barrie's Caribfest. This two day festival starts with the parade at 1:00, has rock, samba, reggae, calypso, steel pan and soca musicians who will be performing, including Moses Revolution, and on Sunday, a Caribbean Beach Party.Toronto mas bands took part in Caribfest's first year (last year), and more should be participating this time.
The weather will be good, 26° & only 20% chance of rain ;-) so it should be a good time. I'd like to hear from anyone who goes.
Hi Karabana,nice to have seen yourself and the better half in Barrie. As you said, it could only get better and you can bet I'll take my band up there again next year.(Feel free to jump with us if you and the better half go.

Hi Courtnay,
ReplyDeleteIt was good seeing you too & for sure Caribfest will grow, maybe even like Mardi Gras... so we'll be advising Torontonians who can't get enough mas that they can extend their Caribana experience!
We have a carnival season for sure! :-)
