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 our Caribbean culture and style.
Parade is held on Saturday July 26, 2008 beginning at 10AM.
Kids get to join in too! Our Children's Parade in the Park is held Sunday.
