Caribana Queer Guide 2024
↓
We've rounded up all the queer Caribana weekend related parties for you to ben' ova and bounce
Caribana weekend in Toronto is a true global phenomenon and runs from Friday August 2 to Monday August 5. Every year it seems the festival feels a bit more inclusive and every year Toronto event promoters, producers and DJs turn up the heat and throw some VERY IMPRESSIVE and sweaty queer parties during this wild weekend.
Parade day is on Saturday, the 3rd down by the water (you can watch for free from the sidelines ~ which is how we like to participate ~ or pay to get in a watch all the floats and costumes in their full glory), but otherwise it's all about the parteeeez. We've listed what we found below, so get something and wave!
This is North America's largest Caribbean Carnival and there is nothing like the Toronto vibe and our community who comes together to make this something so special.
This year's Caribana Guide is brought to you by our friends at Felix. Thanks, Felix!
