Official Toronto Caribana 2008 Thread
Well since I see no one has started one I decided to start my own. So far I believe one band has launched and Torontolime.com has all the bands and launching dates.

I played frontline with Carnival Nationz last year and truly had a great time. I'm looking forward to that again so I'm waiting to see what they are offering.

Well my Toronto family went to the Toronto Revellers band launching. The pics are up and sorry to say I don't see anything special. It looks to me like they are biting the Sahara theme from IP last year AND they have a section called Animal Instincts with YES you guessed it lions, cheetahs, zebra's etc in it. I will be waithing for Carnival Nationz to blow them away. Not impressed.. See the pics yourself.

This is the reason I save all my pennies for Trinidad Carnival. I'm not wasting money on in my OPINION low quality fugly costumes. To me once you get used to all the feathers and bling bling of Trinidad, you get spoiled. I go to other Carnival (Labor Day, Caribanna, and Miami) but I wear my Trini costume and just storm the band! Caribana mas camps some have nice cosutmes. I"m waiting for Carnival Nationz. Hopefully they do not disappoint.

One of my favorite hotels to stay in is Holiday Inn on King (do a google search- it should come up. I think it's Holiday Inn On King - Your Downtown Toronto Hotel for Business & Leisure or hiok.ca?). They are located on King Street West, across from a bunch of cute little restaurants and bars. You are a block away from all the Toronto clubs.....might still need to find a taxi or something to get to the fetes though...they are usually down by the waterfront.

I know a lot of folks who swear by the Sheraton and the Westin too.

The Black, is a eye catcher, especially the headpiece. The red is a nice one too.
