Had a great time photographing this joyous annual event.

Formerly called Caribana, the Scotiabank Caribbean Carnival  is the largest cultural festival of its kind in North America. The festival's grand parade yesterday, was, --to quote The Toronto Star, "a colourful party of music, glitter and dazzling moves"  People of all ages united "in shared exuberance and pursuit of boisterous fun."   I had the pleasure of witnessing, and photographing,  the behind-the-scenes activity as the parade participants were getting ready to strut their stuff.


                                         Adding last-minute touches.

 
                           Last minute check to see that there is enough bling.


                                               
                                                   








The guys were not to be outdone!
