Toronto Junior Carnival 2014

It's that time of year again! It's carnival time in the city!

With the countdown to the grand parade fast approaching, an event that is highly anticipated within the Toronto Carnival three week celebration is the Junior Carnival. Despite the ongoing drizzle of rain throughout the day, little masqueraders hit the streets for a fun day of jumping, waving and wining.

This year the parade took place within the Malvern community and commenced at approximately 11:00am. Subsequent to crossing the stage and judging area, bands made their way up to Neilson Park for a Family Day Celebration, where the fun continued with music, vendors and activities for the children to enjoy.
