Taste of Carnival Luncheon This luncheon celebrates the cuisine of the region as represented by Caribbean food professionals in the Southland.

CARICABELA Los Angeles Carnival CARICABELA Los Angeles Carnival is a performance street event, presented in the style of Trinidad and Tobago and other Caribbean carnivals. Although similar to a parade, it is not a parade.  Rather than a continuous procession like a parade, masqueraders are in no hurry to get to the end of the carnival route because on this one day, they must take over the street, dance, interact with the audience and party along to their mobile music systems as they 'wuk up,' wine and 'git on bad' before they get to the end of the carnival route.

Independent Producer Programs In addition to the above events, many independent producers plan and present entertainment and community events.
