The Carifiesta Montreal is a 3 day celebration filled with Caribbean events & festivities. Last Saturday, for its 36th edition, the Carifiesta parade took over the streets of downtown Montreal. There was a procession of 9 floats decorated with the colors of the countries being represented. In addition, there was traditional dance, live bands that played West-Indian and Afro-Caribbean music and flamboyant costumes worn by the Carifiesta masqueraders. These enthusiastic dancers were coming back from their warm-up and were just about to join the parade and enjoy their moment in the sun.

Sorry I have been absent, I recently drove from Toronto to Calgary and will be making my way to Vancouver shortly.
I never knew they had this festival in Montreal. I only thought it was a Toronto thing. I guess thats very 'Toronto' of me to say :)
Nice photo as always!
