How it all began:
“Caribanna North began when two island gals began talking about where their families came from and how they arrived in Canada. Kicha moved straight to Collingwood from Jamaica as a teenager and Hillary’s family moved from Trinidad to Toronto in the 1980’s.
Celebrating Caribanna keeps Caribbeans from all over the world connected to their families, their history, and their roots. There is nothing more exciting than waking up J’ouvert morning ready to jump up!
” We are so exciting to introduce Caribanna to Collingwood this summer. Come ready to wine your waist cause we bussin’ for a lime soon!!” – Event coordinators, Kicha and Hillary

Caribanna Emergence
Beginning in 1967 in Toronto initially, Caribanna surfaced during a time when Caribbean
residents emigrated to Canada after immigration reform. Internationally acclaimed singers
were popularizing Caribbean music and the Canadian government welcomed ethno-cultural groups to contribute celebrations with representations of their ethnic diversity. We are thrilled to be able to attend our very own Caribanna in Collingwood, Caribanna North. See you all there!
