North America's largest Caribbean festival fills Toronto with feathered mas bands, soca trucks, and steel pan all summer long, building to the Grand Parade along the lakeshore that draws well over a million spectators. Started by Caribbean immigrants in 1967 as a Canadian centennial gift to the city, it's since become one of Toronto's defining cultural institutions.
