2018 will see a fresh, new vibe to Cariwest as we move our Caribbean Village to a new location at the Federal Plaza (located in front of the Alberta Legislative Building). After over 15 years at Churchill Square, Cariwest will most definitely take on a new energy and we want to make sure you are ready, but most importantly, we want to make sure that you don’t go looking for us in the wrong place.
So, WHAT’s New??
Cariwest 2018 Parade
Presented by Royal Delivery Services – This year the crown jewel of Cariwest, our Saturday Grand Parade is essentially going in reverse. We start at noon; however, this the parade begins at Jasper and 100th heading westbound on Jasper to 107th. At that point we head south towards the Federal Building Plaza, home of the Caribbean Village.
The Caribbean Village
Our 2018 new location offers an opportunity for a fresh look and vibe to the centre of Edmontons’ Caribbean world.
