Each year, the streets come alive with the sights and sounds of Carnival during our Multicultural Street Parade!
Enjoy the spectacle of a multitude of costumed revellers cavorting down the streets of North Vancouver. The Parade is truly a magnificent way to appreciate our Caribbean culture and style.
Parade is held on Saturday July 26, 2008 beginning at 10AM.
Kids get to join in too! Our Children's Parade in the Park is held Sunday.
Parade Route
 |
The Parade begins at Victoria Park, heading east to St. David's Ave., south to 4th Street, then west to Lonsdale. On the corner of Lonsdale it heads south again to Esplanade at the bottom of Lonsdale and turns west to go to Waterfront Park. The Parade typically runs an hour and a half from its start to finishing point. Parade route is roughly 2.5 KM. |
