The Caribana Arts Group (CAG) is planning to kick start the 2019 Carnival season in Toronto with Caribana On Ice, a free outdoor show  designed to compliment Black History Month celebrations.

Caribana On Ice will be held at Mel Lastman Square (5100 Yonge Street) on March 2 , starting at 1 p.m.

Organizers say the show will be “a splash of culture, colour, mini Caribana^TM costumes, sweet sounds and lots of energy.”

“In the past, the CAG has held other Caribana On Ice events, albeit with a more informal approach,” event programmer Amah Harris told the Caribbean Camera. “This year we have designed what one could described as a ‘mini’ Caribana on the ice presentation.”

The show features Dance Caribe  and the Drumming Ensemble.

Also on the showbill is veteran pannist/calypsonian Panman Pat with  his “Pan-Around-De-Neck” presentation.

The ringmaster of the 90-minute show will be calypsonian King Cosmos (Henry Gomez) who promises “to get the audience clapping, dancing and singing along.”
