SPONSOR FAQ

Cariwest is one of Edmonton's longest running festival and parades. Since it's inception in 1985 it has gone from a small parking lot celebration honoring the various Caribbean traditions, to a three day event which takes over Jasper Ave and Churchill Square. Carifest is also one of Calgary’s largest festivals.

Our sponsorship packages are tiered into three levels. Each tier offers different ways your organization or brand can shine with us during our parades.
