Events

At CCFA, we host a range of events to bring Caribbean culture to life. From energetic parades to family-friendly activities, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

Carifiesta Parade

The Carifiesta Parade grew from Montreal’s decades-long Caribbean parade tradition. Over time, it has evolved to highlight mas band customs, elaborate costumes, and vibrant music that bring Caribbean culture to life. Carifiesta is CCFA’s brand for showcasing the carnival mosaic, ensuring each event bursts with the energy and heritage of the islands.

FamiFete

FamiFete (Partnered with Place Vertu Mall): A lively, family-friendly festival designed to bring the community together. In partnership with Place Vertu Mall, FamiFete features interactive games, craft stations, and cultural displays that capture the spirit of the Caribbean. Expect face painting, music, and opportunities for all ages to learn and play.

Dans La Rue

Dans La Rue (Ville Saint-Laurent): An on-the-go cultural celebration that pops up in the streets of Ville Saint-Laurent. Dans La Rue highlights the rich tapestry of Caribbean culture through live music, dance performances, and art installations. These types of spontaneous gatherings bring the rhythm and excitement of the Caribbean straight to the heart of the neighborhood.
