“Carnavalito on the Road is our exciting initiative to honor and connect with the dynamic Latin American community that continues to grow across British Columbia,” said Latincouver online. “We recognize that many people, including migrant workers in less accessible areas, often lack opportunities to connect with others and share their experiences.
“Our goal is to create inclusive spaces where everyone can come together and celebrate their contributions to our local economy.”
There are over 50 artists and 30 food and business vendors from Latin America and Canada to discover at Carnavalito on the Road.

Guests can explore six themed plazas filled with unique experiences. They include the Main Plaza filled with performances and events, a Family & Kid’s Plaza with all-ages activities, a Community Plaza with local organizations, and an Artisan Plaza with handmade items from Latin American makers and creators.
A visit to Carnaval del Sol wouldn’t be complete without trying the tasty food being served. So head to the Food Plaza to discover authentic dishes from Brazil, Mexico, Taiwan, El Salvador, Colombia, and more.
Visitors can also unwind and imbibe in the vibrant 19+ Beer Plaza.
