Toronto's annual Caribana parade.

Relevant factoids: * August 1, 1834 was Emancipation Day when slavery was abolished in most of the British empire, including Canada. * Hennessey has just launched its second Limited Edition bottle celebrating carnival culture. The company is a major sponsor, as you can see in the video on my other FB post.
