The vibrant city of Saanich will come alive with the beats of Soca music and the aroma of diverse culinary delights at our much-anticipated 2023 Carnival Culture Connection. Hosted by I-Land Fest, this event promises to be a celebration of Trinidad and Tobago’s rich cultural tapestry, bringing communities together through food, music, and the spirit of unity.
Join us for the inaugural Carnival Culture Connection (CCC) on Saturday, February 18th, 2023, at Braefoot Park! This free, family-friendly event brings the vibrant energy of Trinidad & Tobago’s Carnival to Victoria.
