    Gumbo crew! We’re happy to be cooking again and serving up three courses of sonic Afro-goodness for summer ‘24. It's time for the tastiest treat of the year: Caribana Thursday. The international DJ line up includes Blaq Pages(Los Angeles), Dubai's finest DJ Crown Prince, London UK’s N.A.S and in-house mix specialist DJ Blackeys , guest host Percy Plantian and special guests. It's the hottest Caribana Thursday ticket for 9 years and still running. Tickets are likely to sell out before doors open. It's the hottest Caribana Thursday ticket for 9 years and still running!

     

    Once upon a time we started #WeAreGumbo on a Caribana Thursday night because we didn’t want to go up against the madness of the weekend. We knew it was a gamble but we were determined to create a party worth calling in sick or taking a half day for. 9 years later, we have succeeded in putting our stamp on Caribana Thursday as the sweatiest dance floor in the GTA. We might play in different spaces these days but Gumbo will always be about good music and good vibes. A party for people who want to get free...if only for a few hours. Come as you are or come as you want to be. Just come with an open mind for Afrobeats, Soca, Amapiano, Dancehall and whatever our DJs decide to cook up. Just nyam dat!

     

    We're giving out a prize for the best dressed in the suggested style code: Vintage Yard. Think: 90s R&B Fashion meets Dancehall Queen.
