Can't go to Trinidad for Carnival? How about Brasil? Barbados? No? Well then make sure you take your ass to Caribana next year (and yes I know they changed the name to the Scotiabank blah blah blah). I could care less about wack ass corporate sponsorship. But back to my point, Caribana was the place to be this past weekend. There was a great parade with food, trucks, music, and gorgeous ladies that lasted from 11am-7pm (unfortunately there was also a shooting). Drake, Canada's hip-hop ambassador, returned to his hometown for a concert and pool party, and the club scene was filled with parties featuring Fabolous, Travis Porter, Nas, and Bow Wow amongst others.

This was my second year going and the weather didn't disappoint for a second year in a row. It felt like a second Memorial Day weekend in Miami this year, with the sun, the influx of beautiful female tourist (local and foreign), and the live social scene. A must go for any single man with swag and common sense, especially if your American. Apparently I have a funny yet cute accent. Maybe you do to? Do yourself a favor, attend Caribana 2012, and find out. Just make sure you book your hotel early, buy a party pass, and more importantly have fun.
