Caribana Toronto 2009 - official launch ceremony

The 42^nd annual Toronto Caribana  Festival will soon heat up the streets of TO with planned events such as the King and Queen Ball on July 30^th and the Parade on Lakeshore scheduled for Saturday, August 1st.

The official launch ceremony was moved from strike bound Nathan Phillips Square to Yonge-Dundas Square which was jam packed with people eager to see the beautiful costumes that the dancers were wearing and to hear the music from tropical paradise. When the politicians kept talking and talking the crowd tried to hurry on the speakers. They promised that all the events will proceed despite the municipal strike so everyone was happy to hear that part at least.
