Orlando, Florida is going to be hot like fyah this Memorial day weekend as the Orlando Carnival Downtown festival continues to bring the joys of Caribbean culture and music into Orlando for the 33rd year. Carnival and soca-lovers besides being able to rival in the main events of J’ouvert and the Parade of the Bands will be thoroughly entertained by some of the biggest names in soca today; Machel Montano, Kes The Band, Patrice Roberts, Nadia Batson, to name a few.
The annual festival brings pageantry, parties, art vendors, and foods from Trinidad & Tobago, Jamaica, Guyana, Barbados, and other Caribbean nations. According to the Orlando Carnival Downtown organizing committee: “the festivals have seen amazing growth over the past few years as we continue to improve our event to maintain its status as the largest celebration of Caribbean culture in Central Florida. Record numbers of attendees have surpassed 20,000, with an ever-growing demographic. For the past 33 years we have successfully presented our cultural showcase celebration in Orlando and we are on target to transcend those numbers with the continued support of our community.”
Apart from the Orlando Carnival Downtown organizing committee, Culture Fete which is part of Central Florida Multicultural Association & Tourism Board is hosting two mega-events that will be showcasing several top soca artistes.
