“You know how Christmas is in Canada?” Jacinta Fisher asked as she described the importance of the festival. “Carnival in the Caribbean is everything. That’s our biggest celebration throughout the year. And so we wanted to bring that here so that we can all share it.” Fisher is one of the Caribbean Carnival of Saskatchewan Association members responsible for organizing the festival.
To kick CaribFest’22 off, a traditional Caribbean parade will make its way through the streets of Regina, starting on 13Ave. and Cameron St., before stopping at Victoria Park where a number of life performances, games and entertainment will be waiting for those in attendance.“There’ll be a big truck playing music and all those who want to dress up in their traditional regalia or costumes are more than welcome to join us walking down the streets,” Fisher said.
