By ALICE PRENDERGAST, ETCanada.com Staff.

Caribana Toronto is on the fast approach. Since you’re going to want to show up in style (duh), we’ve created this quick guide for everything you’ll want to order before the big event. And, good news, since it’s all available on Amazon Canada, you’ll be able to get your hands on it within a few days (or sometimes even sooner if you’re a Prime member).

Now, before you start sorting out your look for all the Caribbean parties and events on your cal, you’ll want to get to know the festival. You can check out the FAQ for quick tips, but you may also want to create your schedule based on the nightlife events and weekend passes available.

Now, without further adieu, let’s break down all the things you’ll want to order for the main event.

Boob Tape
