Caribbean Days Festival in Coquitlam at Lafarge Lake

Just a good reason to hang out, have some drink , eat and listen to music.
Last year had a core of a dozen that sat together and another dozen that came and mingled.

Bring your own chair or blanket to sit on (maybe an umbrella or tent for shade), cash to purchase food/drinks and maybe a small cooler to bring your own food and drinks.

Meet at Lafarge skytrain at 1:50 and I will wait until 2:00. then We will walk over to find a spot for the group as it is posted in a few meetups. If you arrive early or later, just message to see where we setup so you can join us.
If you drive, I will comment in this post to say where we set up so you can join us .
The group may stay longer then 3 hours .

Caribbean Days Festival returns.

### Welcome to Caribbean Days

Each year, during the last weekend of July, the Trinidad & Tobago Cultural Society of BC presents the Caribbean Days Festival. This event draws a crowd of exuberant fun-lovers for a weekend of parading, dining, socializing (liming) and dancing in the sunshine. This is a weekend of tropical rhythm, cuisine, carnival and culture as only the Caribbean can offer.
Over the years, the Festival has grown into the largest Caribbean event on the local calendar. With up to 60,000 people attending annually, it is one of the largests cultural events of its type in BC, period.

The park is situated not far from Coquitlam Town Centre, a well-known shopping destination and a hub of the city’s transportation system. As a result, the park can be reached easily via Skytrain. Simply take the Millennium Line to its terminus at Lafarge Lake-Douglas Station, and from there it’s just a few steps to the Park. There is also ample parking adjacent to the park for those arriving by car.

Town Centre Park is an ideal location for an outdoor festival, and indeed it plays host to a number of major events each year. Fittingly, it is also home to Percy Perry Stadium, named in honour of long-serving Coquitlam community leader and Caribbean expatriate Percy Perry.
Caribbean Days Festival is proud to make its long-awaited return.
Caribbean Days Festival is free to attend, is open to all ages, is wheelchair accessible and close to public transportation. Over the years, the Festival has grown into the largest Caribbean event on the local calendar. With tens of thousands of attendees, it is possibly the largest cultural event.
