Technically speaking, the Caribana Festival has already been going on for two weeks now, but if you're a true Torontonian you know that it's the parade that's the real draw. Taking place this Saturday, the Caribana parade is a real sight to behold; that is, if you can maneuver your way through the crowd to actually see any of it. It's nothing but glitz and glam, colour and pageantry, steel drums and costumes. It overwhelms all five senses and some other senses you didn't even know you had. If you can handle it, it's one of the many bits of Torontiana that everyone has to experience. But really, that's all irrelevant. Whether or not you want to go, you probably won't be able to avoid it.
