	Caribana
		Although Caribana is the official name for events sponsored by the Caribbean Cultural Committee, other organizations and individuals mount carnival-type events during the Caribana season, eg, the Calypso Association of Canada holds an annual Calypso Monarch of Canada Competition featuring the talents of local calypsonians (calypso performers).
		The highlight of the Caribana festival is the Caribana parade, held iniatially on Yonge Street and then, by 1970, on University Avenue.
		The musical component of the Caribana parade is of utmost importance as it supports a main Caribbean carnival aesthetic - motion.

	Story of Caribana
		Caribana follows the same form as Carnival; (a celebration held every year in Trinidad and Tobago, the birthplace of Carnival) it is a celebration of "freeing up the spirit." Carnival is a statement of the art form and takes place two days before Ash Wednesday in the Catholic calendar.
		Caribana’s problems over the last 38 years are testimony to the painful learning experiences of a non-profit organization, attempting to manage one of Ontario’s main tourist attractions.
		The survival and celebrated success of Caribana is the result of the tenacity of the Caribbean people who forged ahead, in spite of the pressing problems, so as to show the world their patriotism to their beloved West Indies.

	CARIBANA: PREPARING TO EXHALE IN 1997
		The genesis of the Annual Toronto Caribana Festival is somewhat different to the Carnivals of Trinidad and Tobago and the Caribbean Islands.
		The Caribana festival attendance of one and a half million people has become an enormous undertaking that is stressing out the present structure of the handful of dedicated volunteers who "run" the Festival.
		Caribana 1967 to 1996 has grown in complexity to the extent of tremendous difficulty "how all the parts come together" with so little finances to be recognized as the largest festival in Canada, and rank highly among the world's Carnivals.
