Toronto, Ontario (Sonique Solutions) – From its inception Epic Events has been a progressive force in the professional event and entertainment industry and has implemented exceptional services for both the North American and Caribbean Diaspora markets. The company seamlessly unifies both worlds for its signature annual affair “Friends & Family Out Back” (FFOB) due to its unique ability to embrace the diversity of event goers.

Friends & Family Out Back is an exclusive, by invitation only outdoor experience. The event which is held in the middle of Toronto’s summer season has a ‘bring your own beverages’ concept or a ‘cooler fete’ as it’s referred to within the Caribbean communities.

Now in its 6th year, FFOB continues to attract an eclectic gathering of attendees which include business professionals, Canadian politicians and Caribbean culture aficionados.

This event was borne out of the growing trend of outdoor events in the Greater Toronto Area. The Epic Events team challenged themselves to produce a themed and carefully executed event which utilized the top quality resources at Epic’s disposal (resources which were not commonly used in Caribbean-infused events.

The team has been able to use its cultural expertise and its injection of innovative themes and elements such as premium décor, layout, technology and analytics to maintain the annual event’s status at nothing short of high end.

Additionally, the ingredient that keeps FFOB as an ever-evolving fan favourite is Epic Events’ consistent efforts to embrace the diversity of event goers.

The success and growth of FFOB, has led to the creation of a spinoff event entitled “The Cooldown”. This intimate end of summer affair made its debut in 2018 with the team’s main focus on delivering a maximum experience for patrons and creating quality rather than attracting numbers. Based on guest feedback this event will be a mainstay on the brand’s annual line-up.
