For the love of the Caribbean
Caribbean Cultural Month is a month-long celebration that highlights the people and countries of the Caribbean, from Anguilla to the U.S. Virgin Islands. The Caribbean is made up of many countries with a diverse cultural background. With Islands stretching miles long, palm trees lining streets, beautiful sandy beaches and clear blue water, the Caribbean is a favourite destination for tourists and a place where we call "home."
In 2013, Carifestival Association and the Vaughan African Canadian Association partnered together to submit a deputation to the Regional Municipality of York Region and the City of Vaughan to formally recognize the month of August as Caribbean Cultural Month. Plans are in place to have the month recognized throughout the province and country.
A steering committee was formed with representation from pre-existing festivals that celebrate the Caribbean, leaders from the Caribbean community and organizations serving the African-Caribbean community.
The committee is partnering with stakeholders and supporters to plan events to mark the 1st Annual Caribbean Cultural Month with month-long events and activities across the region.
Join us as we share the beauty, culture, people, food, history, music and entertainment of the Caribbean during the month of August.
