Summer Series of Events
Caribbean Days Festival isn't just a picnic in a park.. it's the cornerstone of an entire Summer Series of Events presented by the Trinidad & Tobago Cultural Society of B.C. Here's what the complete lineup looks like.

Kicking
off our annual Summer Series of Events is the Caribbean Boat Cruise, held
the weekend before Caribbean Days Festival, on Sunday, July 20, 2008. Dance to tropical rhythms on board a private charter,
and enjoy the famous Top Deck view!

Multicultural Street Parade

The Festival itself starts at 10 AM on Saturday July 26, 2008 with a Multicultural Street Parade beginning at Victoria Park
in North Vancouver. There is Caribbean music, steel bands playing, as well
as dancers, floats and music from many other regions. The parade follows
a route that ends at Waterfront Park, where the Festival is held.

Island & International Food Fairat Caribbean Days Festival |
The Festival grounds are split into two
areas. The North side of Waterfront Park has an food concession area and a large beverage garden. One can enjoy spicy
Caribbean food as well as other tasty cosmopolitan fare, then relax with
an ice-cold drink in the hot sun.

On the South side, there is an outdoor
music festival. Dancers and other
performers entertain while bands play Reggae, Calypso, Latin and other
international sounds to a large crowd. There is a Family Zone with face painting,
a children’s playground and other activities.

Waterfront Outdoor Party

The music and merriment at the Park goes until 7PM... and then it continues into the night! On Saturday July 26, 2008, we hold a monster jam that we call our Waterfront Outdoor Party -- an open-air
Caribbean party at Lonsdale Quay, two minutes' walk from Waterfront Park.
Partygoers can just glide on over from the Park to the Quay and keep enjoying
our tropical rhythms and Caribbean food well into the night!
