We ready for di road! This week we're joined by Carnival boss Michelle Lochan, Managing Director of the Festival Management Committee for the Toronto Caribbean Carnival (known informally as Caribana) who shared the history, energy and benefits of our big bash.
Caribana is more than just a summer celebration. It's an explosive expression of Caribbean pride, culture, music, and food that some academic reports say generates up to $2 billion in revenue for vendors and all three levels of government annually. Though there are other festivals, there's none quite like Carnival, the largest celebration in North America!
