It’s Caribana time!

Toronto’s Caribbean Carnival has arrived again. While gay acceptance in the mainstream Caribana celebration is still a touchy subject, that doesn’t mean you can’t have a little Caribbean fun of your own in the Village.

The big one is Caribana in the Village, hosted by Crews & Tangos, which will be running strong throughout the entire weekend. So, chances are that you can probably fit it into your schedule somewhere. If you’re looking to travel to the west side, tonight features two DJs, Unruly Twin and Seduce, at Pacha Lounge for Toronto Splash. And, of course, DJ Blackcat is spinning at The Urban Jungle at The Barn on Sunday. Between all of this, you should be able to find something to do to integrate a little Pride into Caribana this weekend.
