Since 1967
Sixty years of taking the street
1967 to 2027
In 2027, Caribana turns 60. Sixty years since a group of volunteers raised the money themselves to give Canada a Caribbean festival. We're marking it the way the founders would have wanted: by bringing the community together to remember, celebrate and pass the story on.
