Every year, somewhere between July and August, the entirety of downtown Toronto is transformed into a wonderland for its annual Caribana festival. Millions take to the streets of the Canadian city, decked out in headresses, bejewelled bikinis and feathers for North America's largest street festival.
Caribana is a celebration of Afro-Caribbean and Canadian identity. Here, we caught up with a few attendees, to discuss the significance and the beauty of the festival.It’s a real stew of different people, its one of the few cities where everyone connects, there's less separation between the different subcultures.
The freedom that you have. There are a lot of opportunities out here for all the young folk in Toronto. Just mark my words, the best thing out of Toronto is the youth.How would you describe the Caribana experience?What are biggest issues affecting young people in Toronto and wider Canada? Not having enough backing in the arts. Everybody in Toronto wants to make something of themselves and do better for themselves but there aren’t enough platforms or backing here to help push ourselves further.What are the things you'd tell someone visiting Toronto they should definitely do?What's the best thing about being young in Toronto?It shows the importance of our culture and how we celebrate it in a very fun way.The Ford government. He needs to go.
It’s a chance to really express my culture. I get to be myself and be around a large group of people from the same culture.It’s unforgettable. It's something you have to engage in at least once in your lifetime. I’ll definitely be here again, it’s just an amazing feeling being around all this culture and likeminded people. I love it.
