Carifiesta's Caribbean beat gets Ste-Catherine St. dancing

Neither a sudden downpour, nor a late start dimmed the spirits of bystanders who lined Ste-Catherine St. W. for the city’s premier Caribbean celebration.
“Even if it starts at midnight, I don’t mind,” said Kenold Simon, 37, as he waited for the Carifiesta parade to start near Fort St.
“If you want to calm down a Haitian, you just play some music,” he said.
“As soon as the music starts, I forget everything.”
His companion Natacha Girard, 47, agreed.
