FOLKFEST...

FOR THREE DAYS EVERY YEAR, Saskatoon comes alive with the sights, sounds and tastes of our ethnic heritage. Performers of all ages, combined with exquisite artisans, global merchants, talented cooks, and enthusiastic servers, are proud to share their unique culture and the Caribbean is no exception.

This was about our pavilion:

"Whenever you have a few people gathering in the Caribbean, you have the makings of a party..."
The horn sounds. "All aboard!" Your surroundings come to life "Under the Sea" ... complete with live mermaids!!

Dive in and explore this underwater adventure while marvelling at Prince Niah - the Fire Eater all the way from Jamaica; Ayanna, our Limbo Dancer from Toronto; and the pulsating rhythms of Espirito Latino from Regina. The Steel Band will have you on your feet, and believe us, it's going to get hot Hot HOT! Enjoy other specials guests: def SOL, Sephoria and Tony Corbin - amazing local talent.

Tempt your taste buds with our Curried and Jerk Chicken, Beef or Chicken Roti, Beef & Vegetarian Patties, Festival and Gizzadas. Quench your thirst with our famous Rum Punch or try a  'Jamaica-Me-Crazy'; and we have Island drinks for the kids! Kids will also enjoy a variety of activities in Ariel's Corner.

Join the Conga Line! We're the place to be at the end of each evening during 'Jump Up at CARNIVAL'. So, kick off your sandals, dig your toes in the sad and discover what lies "Under the Sea" on this memorable voyage in the Islands! There is only one golden rule:

Enjoy yourself!

And we sure did have fun!  Even though Scott and I were rushing around most of the three days to ensure that everything was running smoothly, we still got to enjoy the food, friends and entertainment.  Asha even did some volunteering by stamping passports the one day!

 But, the best part of all was that Folkfest took us right back to our second home - St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
