TORONTO, ON – Three-time Caribbean Music Awards-nominated Trinidad & Tobago recording artist Jadel is officially returning to Summer of Soca Festival for Colours J'Ouvert Night on Friday, July 31, 2026, at the Markham Fairgrounds, marking her third career appearance at one of Toronto Carnival Weekend's signature events.

The appearance is especially significant as it marks Jadel's first time in Toronto in 2026, giving fans their first opportunity to experience her live during this year's Toronto Carnival celebrations.

Widely recognized as one of Toronto Carnival Weekend's premier events, Summer of Soca Festival annually welcomes more than 15,000 patrons throughout its multi-day festival experience. Jadel returns to the festival's opening event, Colours J'Ouvert Night, continuing a relationship that has grown over the past four years.

Jadel first performed at Summer of Soca in 2022, delivering crowd favorites "Up In The Party" and "Yuh Man". The performance became one of the night's standout moments when she climbed off the stage and into the audience, performing shoulder-to-shoulder with fans as they screamed, sang along, and celebrated the moment together.

She returned to the festival in 2024, further strengthening her connection with Toronto audiences and becoming a familiar face at one of the city's biggest Carnival Weekend celebrations. Now, in 2026, Jadel returns for her third career appearance at Summer of Soca, a milestone that reflects both her continued growth and the festival's confidence in bringing her back.

Throughout her career, Jadel has built a growing international profile, performing across the Caribbean, North America, Europe, and Asia while continuing to expand her audience through new music and high-energy live performances. Her return to Summer of Soca marks another milestone in that journey.

Fans attending Colours J'Ouvert Night can expect the high-energy stage presence and crowd interaction that have become hallmarks of Jadel's live performances.

Summer of Soca Festival's opening night will also feature performances by Mical Teja, Coutain, Benjai, Muddy, DJ Ana, Ultra Simmo, Kash, Miguel Maestre, TH3RD, along with surprise guest performances.

As Toronto prepares for another unforgettable Carnival Weekend, Jadel's return promises to be one of the highlights of the festival's opening celebration.
