Carabram
History
In 1982 Carabram was started as a way to celebrate the diverse ethnic communities of Brampton. The festival would become the city’s biggest celebration of multiculturalism and diversity. Carabram started with just four pavilions — Italy, Ukraine, Scotland and the West Indies. Each pavilion represented their cultures through song, dance, costumes, displays, food and drink.
In subsequent years the festival grew to include more community groups representing a wider range of ethnicities across the city. Year after year these community groups come together to help Carabram achieve its goal of stronger cross-cultural relations, greater appreciation for diversity and to help us showcase the heart and breath of different cultures in their true, organic form.
Today, over 3 decades later, Carabram is still dedicated to the preservation, development and promotion of cultural heritage that we started with in 1982.
The Carabram family consists of 11 elected directors, one chairperson representing each Pavilion and over 3,000 volunteers that help make the festival the wonderful success that it is each year.
