  2. Hi Cathy,
    We went away for a few days hence the late response. Blue Devils isn't an official band, they usually collaborate with one the other bands and bring out a section (its hard to coral these "imps" so you often can find them roaming around making mischief). I just heard from Ricardo that they will be re-launching their website this week. So yes, they will be on the road and we are happy to hear it. We believe it is important to keep this tradition alive here in Toronto. This is their site and once I get more info we will do a post www.BlueDevilMas.com

    Thank you

  4. Nadine, If you are interested in participating in the parade by getting a costume and being in the parade, many of the bands still have costumes available for sale. The list of masquerade bands are on in the left margin. Click on their names and you will link to their website.

  5. Nadine Hanna, the only way to legitimately be in the parade is to be in a band. It's all about

    We don't support storming (read: when people crash the parade without being in a band.)

    Toronto Revellers is advertising costumes still for sale, check them out on facebook.

  6. Nadine, If you're talking about watching from the stands, you can absolutely do that. I believe you can purchase tickets online on the Toronto Carnival website. Usually costs $20. Some Caribbean restaurants also sell tickets. If that's what you meant. =)
