The Carnival’s Grand Parade, which takes place on August 3, is the largest street performance parade of its kind in North America with thousands of costumed performers.

Event organizers invite all Canadians and international visitors to experience the “Festival of Joy” from “playing mas” in the Grand Parade to attending the many shows featuring singers, pannists, calypsonians, dancers, and performers.
