Catibana!

see this quote from 2004:

"It began as the Toronto Caribbean community's salute to Canada's Centennial year. Now in its second millennium, its fifth decade and its 37th year, the Caribana™ Festival is one of North America's greatest celebrations, attracting an estimated million participants annually. Rooted in Trinidad and Tobago Carnival, it has become an international festival where you might experience Jamaican reggae, Brazilian samba or African djembe rhythms alongside Latin salsa, Haitian zouk or urban sounds, all blended with calypso and soca vibes."

More than a million people attend this festival. My daughter loves it so much, she's gone 3 years in a row. When she's there, she waves the USA AND the Barbados flags {my maternal grandparents' home}.

This is on my to-do list of Carnivals to experience!
