The Toronto Caribbean Carnival Festival and The Ontario Steel Band association present Pan Alive, Canada's premiere Steel Pan competition happening during Carnival weekend. On August 3rd, some of North America's best Steel Pan orchestras will compete for the title of Best Steel Band.

Throughout the night the audience will be treated to some of the best live Caribbean flavored percussion and steel drumming. The panel of judges will judge performance on arrangement, group performance, the tone and general application of rhythm. Of course, the audience will base our favorites on how hard we are pushed to dance.
