Doh stop de mas.....de palancin' continues!!!

Playing mas in Toronto is a pretty sweet deal!!! We are very lucky.......playing mas here not only affords you the joy of CARIBANA but you also get to play mas for HAMILTON CARNIVAL and BARRIE CARIBFEST. And if you're a Carnival Nationz masquerader like myself then you can use your costume at Miami Carnival too.

Where else in the world could you use your costume up to FOUR times......seems like a pretty sweet deal to me!!!

So that being said Hamilton Carnival is this weekend so fluff those feathers and bring out the glitter.....we PALANCIN' again. (Note: Barrie's Caribfest is next weekend)

But wait maybe your band is actually taking part in Brampton's West-Fete.....that's this weekend too!!

But then again maybe you're going way way out west to Alberta. The folks out in Edmonton will also be parading for CARIWEST.

Wherever you are.......enjoy the festivities and soak up the culture.

Barrie Caribfest is looking for Volunteers

The Caribbean festival (Caribfest) 2010 will be held at Centennial Park August 13th, 14th and 15th. Putting together an event such as Caribfest would not be possible without the dedication of many volunteers. We are looking for people to join the volunteer team and come experience the Caribbean as they contribute to the development of the city. We need volunteers in all area of the event’s operation. Volunteering at Caribfest is also a great opportunity to develop your resume, learn new skills and meet new people! Being a volunteer has many perks such as getting free access to world-known Caribbean artists, complimentary authentic Caribbean cuisine, and a volunteer thank you barbeque after the event. This is also a perfect opportunity for area high school students to get their volunteer hours while gaining a greater appreciation of different cultures and having fun. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact the volunteer coordinator, Heidi Hoell, at volunteer@caribfest.ca or 705-252-6822 or message me on facebook!
