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...

Masquerader Monday - 17.12.18 | Nicole

Brief biography (profession, hobbies, passions, etc.): * 26 year old Youtuber Grad Student living in NYC.

What carnival experience has been your favourite (and most proud) to date? * My favorite carnival experience has to be New York 2017. I had such a great time with my friends and I fe...

Face of the Festival - Toronto Caribbean Carnival Mas Camp Tours

TORONTO CARIBBEAN CARNIVAL “FACE OF THE FESTIVAL” NADELLE TO TOUR MAS CAMPS TORONTO, ONT (July 3, 2019) – Nadelle, the “Face of the Festival” for the Toronto Caribbean Carnival, is set to visit with the mas camps of the participating bands in this year’s festival. Nadelle will tour the carnival headquarters of each group to engage with band leaders, section leaders, volunteers, and community members. The mas camp—the gathering place for leaders, designers, and supporters of each masquerade band—is the hub of activity during the carnival season. Traditionally located in industrial areas of the city (the majority of which are in Scarborough), the warehouse/showroom spaces house costume materials, are the location for special events throughout the summer, and serve as a meeting place to build momentum and plan for the season. “Volunteering at mas camps during the summer is a part of my yearly routine,” said Nadelle, who has enjoyed her role helping to recruit and coordinate (for j...
