Cariwest | Aug 8th - 10th, 2025

Western Canada’s Largest Caribbean Arts Festival!

The Western Carnival Development Association (WCDA), founder of Cariwest Caribbean Arts Festival, is a non - profit organization powered by volunteers. WCDA has been committed to fostering cultural diversity, inclusion, and unity since 1984. Through our annual carnival celebration, we create a platform for the vibrant Caribbean community in Edmonton & Western Canada, to showcase their infectious music, energetic performances, savoury cuisine, and share the vibrant spirit of the Caribbean with the wider community.

Join us in the heart of downtown Edmonton on August 8th - 10th, 2025

Over the course of our 3-day event, we will immerse you in the history, traditions, and contributions of the Caribbean diaspora. The festival ensures that the legacy of our rich Caribbean culture is passed onto future generations.
