Saturday June 20th 2010 is time for Junior Carnival while Saturday July 3rd 2010 is Carnival time!  It is the time of year when Montrealers and visitors from around the world join together to  enjoy the pulsating beats of the steelpan, the rhythm of Caribbean music, and to dance and sing until the sun goes down.  This year, our 36th year of celebration, will be marked by a spectacular display of costumes, musical entertainment, and non stop dancing and singing by participants.  

The Carifete parade has long been a major attraction for the city of Montreal.  Every year thousands of visitors from around the world descend on the streets of Montreal to witness a spectacular display of Cultural expression.  This year the Carifete parade coincides with the United States July 4th celebrations, the Montreal Jazz Festival, the Just for Laugh Festival, and our 36th year of celebrations.  For these factors, we expect a record turn out in 2010.  See you at the Fete!
