Before you dance the weekend away at Pan Alive and the Grand Parade, get a lesson in carnival culture from steel pan musician Jaigan McKenley-McDonald.
The Caribbean Carnival Grand Parade is returning for its 55th anniversary after the pandemic forced cancellations in both 2020 and 2021. According to the event's website, "the Caribbean tradition of parading through the street was founded in celebration of freedom and emancipation from slavery."
This year’s festivities include a fete in a strip club, a bashment vaudeville show and, of course, the Grand Parade on Lake Shore.
