There are many exciting events taking place in Toronto this weekend, but none as exciting as the Caribana Parade. What is the Caribana Parade you ask? It's the largest and most colourful celebration of Caribbean culture in North America. Come for the music, come for the costumes, come for the vibe, it's a guaranteed good time!
Whether you're playin' MAS or watching from the sidelines, here are a couple of survival tips:
1) Sleep well the night before to get ready for a super fun day! Who are we kidding, you`re probably going to all the cool parties the night before.
2) Over a million people are expected to show up at this year's festivities, so if at all possible, arrive early. (Again, this might not happen)
3) Take the TTC. We all know how ridiculous parking can get at these events. I`ve seen lots charge up to $30. Talk about milking it...
4) If you're going to "Jump up!" you better wear comfortable shoes. The parade starts 10 am and ends at 6pm. Stiletto heels will kill you.
5) The Weather forecast on Saturday calls for 31 degrees, with a 10% chance of rain. So pack the sunscreen and pack the umbrella. Although in my opinion, there is nothing sexier than dancing in the rain *wink*
6) Bring a reusable water bottle, some band-aids (for blisters), your camera and your friends. Dance around, jump up and all that good stuff.
{Are you ready for the Caribana Weekend?}
