Who we want to be referred to
Taste of the Caribbean (TOTC) is not only an annual FREE outdoor 4-day cultural festival; it also features several year-round side projects and events, with an overall mission of promoting the diversity of Canada’s Caribbean culture, starting in Montreal.
The festival and other related events, encourages visitors to ‘taste’ their way through the islands by way of live musical performances from homegrown talent to Grammy-Award and JUNO-Award winning artists, dance workshops, music business master classes, video documentaries, educational and historical discussion panels, local authentic Caribbean restaurants, international guest Chefs and Rum Ambassadors via cooking and mixology demonstrations, and more.
Our mission, via the main 4-day outdoor free festival and year-round related activities, is to promote the diversity of Canada’s Caribbean culture to all audiences to form a better understanding and integration between cultures, as well as to influence Canadians of non-Caribbean background to travel to the Caribbean region, while in the meantime, directing them to visit local Caribbean outlets here, such as: businesses, art galleries, live performances/events, imported products, etc.
The large majority of our performing artists, associated products, and food vendors are culturally and authentically Caribbean in almost every way possible.
