=== J'ouvert in Toronto === {{Main|Caribana#J'ouvert}} The [[Toronto Caribbean Carnival]] is held each summer in [[Toronto]], [[Ontario]], and features a pre-dawn J'ouvert celebration. Unlike J'ouvert of the Caribbean, Toronto's J'ouvert often takes place at an outdoor [[Music venue|venue]] rather than in the streets as a parade.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-12-06 |title=Tell Dem We Reach!

Participants will occasionally cover themselves with mud, flour, [[baby powder]], or paint. Some participants dress to resemble evil spirits, such as devils of different colors, including the "Jab Jab".
