| content=This August parade features many wonderful Caribbean costumes and tunes. Participants eventually end up in Churchill Square, where all can enjoy Caribbean food and item vendors. This tradition comes primarily from the Caribbean nations of Trinidad and Tobago.
They close down Jasper Avenue from vehicles, but for an event like this, it's okay, as it is that good.
