Event Description

Toronto Caribbean Carnival from July to August, 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.

Specific event list taking place during the Toronto Caribbean Carnival 2023:

Official Launch - July 11
Junior King & Queen Showcase - July 16
King & Queen Showcase - August 3
OSA Pan Live - August 4
The Grand Parade - August 5
While the official launch of the carnival on July 11 is free to attend, you will need to purchase tickets to attend the other events.
For parade: there is a paid area with plenty of food, refreshments and more. You can also watch for free along Lakeshore Blvd.
