no matter what they change it too, its always gonna b known as caribana!
Caribana has a serious image problem for the last 20 years or more. It's not just the violence, there's been mismanagement, missing funds, corruption, questionable committee practices among other things. It's got plenty of other problems besides the shootings.
+100000000000Ok so what you are saying is... because there was a shooting at a Caribana that makes it ghetto? What about all those people that work so hard all year long on their costumes. What about all the families that go to celebrate where they came from??? I'm not even black and I'm offended by the turn of this thread.
Shame on you people and shame on the mods for allowing this ****.
My point is I, like many thousands of Torontonians, will avoid the Lakeshore during Caribana. But few will openly admit to it.
Montreal, on the other hand, has a Caribana-type event that I've been to and enjoyed.

WTF kind of a petty power struggle is that! As if the name is worth anything outside it's association with this festival. It's like the founders aren't actually interested in the success of the festival, they just want to control it. People are nuts.
With the crowd it attracts, no wonder people think it's ghetto. It's "cool" to act ghetto/thug and listen to soca these days... I'm willing to bet that over 80% of the tourists are just there to "front" and "holla at the ******* rather than relax and learn about the culture.
The name Caribana is trademarked by the group that founded the festival but no longer runs the event.
Why does Caribana get a bad rap...?
So, has it got a name yet?
You mean a puppy like this guy? 281 lbs of crowd control.You wanna go and avoid the crowds? Bring a big dog. I went a few years ago with one of my bullmastiffs and the crowd parted 20 feet wide for me everywhere I went. People from the Caribbean are super scared of dogs especially big ones..Pretty funny to clear a path like that in huge crowd.
