While the United States celebrates it’s independence, Toronto is gearing up for the 46th annual Caribana Toronto Festival. It’s North America’s largest festival and over a million tourists are expected to attend. I wish I was part of those million plus; it looks like a ton of delicious food, great fashion finds, beautiful music, eclectic people, and fun of course [all of my favorite things]. Although I won’t be attending, I was definitely inspired by the festival’s vibrant ads and the color palate I associate with the beaches, wildlife and people of the islands. Caribana begins July 17th and goes thru August 5th.
