Canada Day Long Weekend with the Toronto Revellers and the "Wicked" Section

It's amazing how time flies. We began this process as new section leaders back in the fall of 2010, and now we find ourselves in the middle of production and increasing anticipation as the summer officially begins tomorrow.

We've been in the carnival mindframe since there was snow on the ground and subzero temperatures...so to feel the sun shining, to hear the music playing at the Toronto Revellers' map camp (2135 Sheppard Avenue East) and to know that the actual parade day is drawing nearer is very exciting.

I believe the upcoming Canada Day long weekend will be the unofficial official kick off to a summer of activity at our camp, as the countdown towards the Scotiabank Caribbean Carnival begins.

The Toronto Revellers have an exciting weekend planned starting with "FETEISH" on Canada Day (Friday, July 1) from 4pm - midnight. Infinity Sound Crew, DJ Chris Nice, and DJ 2Touch will provide the musical vibes as we celebrate our band outdoors, and enjoy the city. Hosted by Machel Montano and other special guests...what better way to spend your holiday? Only $20.

On Saturday, July 2 the fun continues with "TABOO," an all-inclusive event that will give you good food, good music, and drinks for just $40.

Tickets for both events are available at the mas camp, and also online at http://www.ticketgateway.com/.

In the meantime and inbetween time, we the "Wicked" [witch of the west] and "Winkie Guard" section are hustling hustling hustling (everyday!) to make sure our costumes are of the best quality, available on time, and that the ladies and gentlemen of our section are ready for the road!
