King & Queen and Pan Alive

Apart from the actual parade, these are the two premier Caribana events. Its a chance to really showcase our culture in a family friendly sit down environment which is easily accessible to people not familiar with the culture.
Its a great lime, and every time I walk through the crowd I see somebody I haven't seen since probably last Caribana. Believe me, seeing the kings and queens paraded under bright stadium lights is a totally different experience than seeing them on the road. Its really something else.

When: Thursday July 29th 7:00 p.m. – 12:00 a.m., rain or shine.

Opening ceremonies at 7 p.m. sharp

Where: Lamport Stadium,
1155 King Street West, Toronto

On Friday, there will be Pan Alive.
Here you will hear 13 steel bands compete as well as a guest performance by the world renowned T&T 2010 Panorama champs Silver Stars steel orchestra.
Both of these cost $30 to attend and you can get ticket info at www.caribanafestival.com

Also, for procrastinators or out-of-towners wanting to play mas, no band has sold out, so inquire with some mas camps, see if they have a costume for you.
