CHUTNEY IN DE PARK - 2nd Annual Guyanese & Trini Family Picnic @ Bella Gardens

If you're looking for a full-day Caribana event the whole family can enjoy without having to venture all the way downtown, check out the 2nd Annual Chutney In De Park Guyanese & Trini Family Picnic on Sunday, July 31st , just north of Toronto.

Trinidad is the birth place of carnival which, along with Guyanese culture, helped inspire Toronto's Caribana Festival in the first place. The cultures, food and music (steel pan & chutney soca music) of Trinidad and Guyana continue to have influence on the modern day Caribana festival and the 2011 Chutney in De Park has the distinction of celebrating and sharing these two cultures with Canadian families.

Chutney in De Park also tours around other Canadian and American cities and has become one of Caribana’s largest family picnics and now features a cooking contest, speed eating competition, softball tournament, car show, free parking, free rides for the kids and over 30 live performers: soca, chutney, calypso, steel pan and rhythm -tassa bands.

Come with friends or bring the entire family to Bella Gardens - 12700 Jane St. in King City on Sunday August 1st starting at 1pm for the Chutney in De Park 2011 Caribana family picnic.
