Each year, the streets come alive with the sights and sounds of Carnival during our Multicultural Street Parade! Enjoy the spectacle of a multitude of costumed revellers cavorting down the streets of North Vancouver. The Parade is truly a magnificent way to appreciate Caribbean culture and style.
Kids get to join in too! Our Children's Carnival Parade is held the next day.
