TORONTO CARIBBEAN CARNIVAL “FACE OF THE FESTIVAL” NADELLE JOINS JAMAAL MAGLOIRE AND THE TORONTO REVELLERS ON BREAKFAST TELEVISION




TORONTO, ONT (June 28, 2019) – This morning Nadelle, the “Face of the Festival” for the Toronto Caribbean Carnival, joined Toronto Raptors’ assistant coach Jamaal Magloire and his Toronto Carnival masquerade band the Toronto Revellers for an appearance on City TV’s Breakfast Television. Joined by youth and adult masqueraders in costume, as well as the Revellers Rhythm Section (percussion band), the group danced while chatting with Dina Pugliese and Devo Brown about Magloire’s upcoming Canada Day long weekend event, as well as the carnival season.


Nadelle, who is also a part of the Toronto Revellers’ administrative team, joined her peers to provide the visual display of costumes and colours, inviting the Toronto viewing community to take part in the upcoming festivities.

“Carnival is a great event for people to participate in: it’s a freedom of expression, and lots of fun,” said Nadelle. “I always encourage people to come on down the road and have fun with us.”

Magloire also welcomed viewers to join the Toronto Revellers in carnival activities and extended an invitation to his annual all-inclusive on the Ontario Science Centre patio. “Escape” features live music and international DJs, along with a range of foods and beverages with proceeds supporting the Jamaal Magloire Foundation for at-risk youth.

Nadelle expressed her joy with being a part of the community-building celebrations and the Revellers team. “Toronto Carnival is very important to me, and I’m very happy to be a part of the Toronto Revellers and the Face of the Festival.”.

As the “Face of the Festival,” Nadelle will be present at all official Toronto Carnival events, endorsing the festival for the weeks leading up to the parade on August 3. She will also continue to spread the messaging of #everyBODYplayahmas along the way.

My experience as the Face of the Festival for Toronto Carnival 2019

    I  have been attending Caribbean carnivals since a child, and each and every experience is unique and special in its own way. From Trinidad to Jamaica, and Atlanta to Washington, each carnival has its own flavour, its own style, and its own vibe. Born and raised in Toronto, Canada, I can’t help but have an appreciation for our carnival and feel a personal responsibility for its execution and the enjoyment of everyone. Whether through volunteering, participating, or helping administrators and costume makers along the way I have always tried to have my hand in the production of Toronto’s carnival. This year, as the Face of the Festival (along with Joel “The Connector” Davis), I was blessed with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to officially represent the carnival in public and in mass media, and the honour was everything I could have asked for, as a support of our hometown festival. It all began with my application for the Face of the Festival competition, where I...

Ubersoca Cruise 2023: A Project Manager's Perspective on Sailing into Soca Paradise

This year marked a thrilling chapter for me as I stepped into the heart of the action, not as a reveler, but as a key player in the execution of the unforgettable Ubersoca Cruise 2023. As a project manager overseeing event execution and liaising with artists and DJs, I gained profound insights into the orchestration of this colossal and amazing event. Destination Delights: Belize and Costa Maya Sailing on the Royal Caribbean Explorer of the Seas, we made stops in the enchanting Harvest Caye, Belize, and the vibrant Costa Maya, Mexico. The familiar throb of excitement synonymous with USC was seamlessly transported onto the Explorer of the Seas. Musical Bliss: Concerts and Pool Parties The sonic landscape of USC is always a highlight, and this year was no exception. The White Onyx concert featuring Ricardo Drue, Alison Hinds, Shal Marshall, Patrice, Voice, and King Bubba set the stage for a musical journey. The Olympic Swim Team pool party made a splash, but the real knockout was the Fig...
