Caribana Toronto

Grand Parade 2025 @ Exhibition Place & Lakeshore Boulevard

Toronto Carnival Is Back for 2025!

Since 1967, North America's biggest Caribbean Carnival happens in Toronto every year!

The road becomes the stage for the masqueraders and steelpan performers. It truly is something you can’t miss. Toronto Caribbean Carnival's Grande Parade continues to attract local, regional, national, and international attention by visitors and media as it is the highlight of the three-week Festival. This event continues to draw millions from all over the world to see the live performing street art year after year and on live streaming.

After months of preparation the city welcomes masqueraders in colourful and striking costumes as they wind their way from the assembly area at Exhibition Place along Lake Shore Boulevard. Although most of the parade is free, admission applies to Exhibition Place where patrons have the opportunity to enjoy the parade of the Mas Bands. Masquerade bands end up in Exhibition Place where masqueraders can party until 6PM.

Most of the parade is held on Lakeshore Boulevard which is free but nightlife tickets are not. Packages for nightlife events are available in Hotel Packages. Limited quantities available.
