Burlington isn’t exactly jumping this long weekend.

However, the Toronto Caribbean Carnival will be  taking place in Toronto, bringing with it an array of vibrant festivities located just steps away from the Exhibition GO Station.

On August 2, GO Transit is increasing train service along Lakeshore West to help you get to and from the Grand Parade.  

Lakeshore West: 

  • Westbound service: 
  • NEW 10:32 a.m., 12:02 p.m., 12:32 p.m., 2:02 p.m., and 2:38 p.m. train trips departing Union Station to Exhibition GO.
  • Eastbound Service: 
  • NEW train trip departing 5:28 p.m. from Exhibition GO to Union Station.

The colour and the extravagance is stunning. You’ll never regret watching the event.

While most of the parade is free to watch, you can save 20% off with PRESTO Perks on ALL Caribbean Carnival ticketed events.

Customers can also take advantage of our $10 weekend day online passes that allow you to GO wherever you want, plus kids 12 and under can ride the GO for free! Riders can also transfer for free with One Fare between GO Transit and TTC.

This year will mark the 58th anniversary of the Caribbean Carnival, an annual celebration of Caribbean culture and traditions, with more than one million participants expected to attend this year. Learn more about taking GO Transit to this year’s Toronto Caribbean Carnival HERE
