Move over, EDC; this week Camping World Stadium downtown and thereabouts will be home to a holiday-weekend celebration of Caribbean culture in all its many forms. For three days, attendees can take in live music — soca, reggae and calypso — food and drink, dancing and even a parade.

On Friday, Carnival on the Runway — a showcase of Carnival couture and costumes — happens at Camping World. Saturday sees an early Jouvert party (think festive paint and powder being thrown every which way, à la Holi) at Tinker Field, and mini-fest Soca Anthropology taking over the Seneff Plaza in front of the Dr. Phillips Center. Sunday brings the Orlando Carnival Downtown — parade, food festival and even more music — to Camping World. You will dance, guaranteed.
