Caribbean Days Festival 2012 in North Vancouver

I love promoting ethnic festivals in Vancouver, particularly because of the wonderfully multicultural society we have. This weekend (July 28th and 29th, 2012) North Vancouver is celebrating Caribbean Days Festival 2012.

Each July, the Trinidad & Tobago Cultural Society of BC presents the Caribbean Days Festival. This event draws a crowd of exuberant fun-lovers to North Vancouver’s Waterfront Park for a weekend of parading, dining and dancing in the sunshine. This is a weekend of tropical rhythm, cuisine, carnival and culture as only the Caribbean can offer. Over the years, the Festival has grown into the largest Caribbean event on the local calendar, Drawing tens of thousands of attendees, it is among the very largest cultural events in BC, Canada.

Caribbean Days Festival is held in North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The setting is Waterfront Park, a large green space with a picturesque view of the Vancouver skyline. Waterfront Park is divided into North and South zones, each with their own attractions during Caribbean Days. Caribbean Days Festival is free to attend, is open to all ages, is wheelchair accessible and close to public transportation.
