If you had never been on a boat ride Caribana time before this one, you would have been in for a shock. The absolute best West Indian/chinese food that had people talking for months, on the water with a boat full of your people wearing red...which studies have shown create frenzied excitement in the human mind ;0) , up close and personal with soca stars Shuwrwayne Winchester, Sean Caruth, Candy Hoyte, and Kernal Roberts, two full sets from Trinidad's best Big Band Traffik, Farmer's Rhythm section, and the best DJ's was a formula for absolute disorder from start to finish!

Needless to say the boat ride was sold out!

1,000+ strong came out to welcome the return to Ellas! For those of you not familiar Ellas Banquet hall was THE venue for the biggest and best soca fetes for years. With this event we resurrected the venue back to its previous form. The show featured the ultimate wining showdown between Timmy and Denise "Saucy Wow" Belfon...big up the Saucy Baby crew...special guests Kees, Ghetto Flex, Michelle Xavier, Imij & Co. and more. The was also on of the last shows ever while Kees D. was still part of Imij & Co. before going out on his own.

A beautiful night under the stars with soca's best...

This show featured three mega bands in Ivazion, Traffik, and the Roy Cape All Stars alongside none other than The Mighty Shadow and much more!

The first Carnival In Yuh Backyard featured Bunji Garlin and his brand new band Asylum for the first time ever in North America. Alongside Road March winner Shurwayne Winchester and Traffik, Maximus Dan, the Roy Cape All Stars, Benjai, Gailann, Lil Bitts, and many, many more, this mega spectacular was the show of shows! At the time this was was the biggest and best outdoor soca spectacular in the history of Toronto Caribana with well over 5,000 in attendance. If you had never seen a 25-foot high powder bomb go off this was your chance! Rags, flags, and banners in true Trinidad Carnival style, this was the closest you were going to get to that "back home" feel.

Higher Image in the Metro News
Tuesday, Nov 30th, 2004

Once again the bacchanal boat ride sold out! This time with a disappointed 300+ waiting list...

Two full sets from Traffik sent the boat into a frenzy!

A new Caribana Wednesday tradition was born on top of SkyBar, Toronto's largest rooftop patio!

True music lovers enjoyed Starting From Scratch, Court Jester, and MC Scott Boogie keeping the vibes nice all night with the best in R&B, old school, soca, and reggae in what was definitely the surprise event for 2005!

Traffik, Iwer George, KMC, Denise Belfon, Shurwayne Winchester, Benjai, Rikki Jai, Candy Hoyte, Kernal Roberts, and many, many more were all part of what was easily the biggest and best outdoor soca spectacular in Toronto Caribana history!

As the most anticipated Caribana event ever, Carnival In Yuh Backyard 2 was a tremendous follow up to the first CIYB at Shangri-La with over 6,000 in attendance!

As a thank you for an extremely successful season Higher Image wanted to do something special and rare in our city of Toronto for the people… An all-inclusive in true Caribbean format. This meant getting a top notch artist in superstar Edwin Yearwood, the best in West Indian/Chinise cuisine from roti to duck to jerk chicken by Nigel from Malty's Caribbean, the best DJs in Court Jester, Enforcas, Soca Vibes, and Bad Lad, and of course, a bottomless bar… all for only $30 advance! The community responded and came out in the hundreds for a night to remember!

Endless water in dis fete!

Red Hot Flames made their first ever appearance in Koolhaus and didn't disappoint! Complete mayhem to all their tunes as they pelt out song after song. We warned you ent? Then Traffik bring the water... There is no question that Traffik and Shurwayne are now on a whole different level. We have literally seen this man grow into the superstar artist that he now is right before our eyes. He is now firmly planted on top of his game, and there is no way this man comin' down from his reign any time soon. When he brought Band Comin, Dead Or Alive, and Can't Wait consecutively the crowd couldn't take it anymore. Total destruction...

Iwer George mash up as usual bringing yet MORE water! And Rose? Well what can I say about Her Majesty? This woman absolutely flattened Koolhaus beyond even what anyone expected. She has promised to return for Caribana to do it all again. Big up all the DJs who kept the music jammin' all night...Dr. Jay, D'Enforcas, Soca Monarchs, Soca Vibes, Bassline, and E-Man. Thanks to Farmer's ponging sweet iron in de people's head all night... If yuh missed this fete yuh really missed a SERIOUS jam session!

Get ready for bigger and better in 2007!

Once again the bacchanal boat ride sold out! This time with Shurwayne Winchester alongside Rita Jones, Blaxx, and the Roy Cape All Stars!

Complete mayhem and madness as usual.... Allyuh please move eaaaaarly next year to secure yuh tickets! We don't want to again see the long faces of those left on the shore!

Despite the unfortunate presence of water, this event was the best vibes for Caribana Wednesday!

Hundreds of true music lovers danced and vibed and would not leave even after lights came on for the longest. Scratch, Jester, and MC Scott Boogie did it like noone else could all night long. This event is sure to be big again in 2007!

With the size of the crowd in year 2 we knew we had to come up with a new venue, a bigger venue, a badder venue taking this event to a whole new level. So we built from scratch the 4-acre Soca Savannah next to the grounds of Wild Water Kingdom. With a killer stage, endless bars, and room for 10,000 feters the words on all party goers were the same: "Nah, this is not Toronto...We are back home!"

Machel Montano as Mr. Scandalous, Traffik, Shurwayne, Iwer George, Calypso Rose, JMC Trevini, Benjai, and endless other artistes were in the lineup that made easily the biggest and best outdoor soca spectacular in Toronto Caribana history!
