A cultural non-profit organization that aims to contribute to the multicultural landscape of Canada by promoting, celebrating and exploring the rich cultural diversities and traditions of the Caribbean. Since entering the Caribana competition in 2005, the TORONTO REVELLERS have become the premier masquerade band in the Scotiabank Caribana Festival (Toronto, Canada). In 2007 and 2008, they captured back-to-back “Band of the Year” titles, where band involvement has grown leaps and bounds at almost 2,000 community participants not including extended supporters by year 2010!
In 2007, the TORONTO REVELLERS were showcased in the Bell Oasis documentary entitled “Festival Bound“, where the documentary followed the Revellers as they took part in Caribana’s 40th Anniversary celebrations and captured their first band of the year for the stunning presentation of “Viva Las Vegas“, also winning the Children’s Carnival “Band of the Year” title too. Encouraged by these victories and the infusion of community spirit, the continued approach for the Festival was with one aim – Passion, People and Purpose and to capture the title of Band of the Year. In 2008 with theme “Akebulan- Beyond the Nile“ the TORONTO REVELLERS were recognized for drama and detailed workmanship. The top level band is constantly seen at events across the city including appearances at CTV’s Open House and the official Scotiabank Caribana launch at Yonge and Dundas Square.
