The Story

A piece of Bim
on a Toronto boulevard.

Bim on the Boulevard brings the rhythm, food and warmth of Barbados to the corner of Eglinton and Barbados Blvd — a street that already carries the name of the island in its DNA.

Built by LUX Carnival for the Bajan diaspora and every Torontonian who has ever felt the pull of the Caribbean, this is more than a festival. It is a homecoming, on the boulevard.
