The Atlanta Caribbean Carnival celebrates the Caribbean this May, promoting a broader understanding and deeper appreciation of Caribbean culture. Join the music, dancing, food, children's activities, and more!
This year’s event marks a significant milestone as it presents a cohesive and united celebration that reflects the strength and resilience of Caribbean culture.
The Atlanta Caribbean Carnival Bandleaders Association (ACCBA), the festival's organizers, has diligently worked to curate a diverse lineup of events that showcase the dynamic rhythms, artistry, colourful costumes, and captivating cultural elements that define Caribbean heritage.
The parade starts at 11:30 a.m. and ends at 4 p.m. The festival village opens at 10 a.m. and ends at 10 p.m. Come out and see the parade, and then come to the festival village to see artists performing and food vendors.
In addition to the official downtown Atlanta Caribbean Carnival parade route featuring full street closure on May 25 as well as a relocated stage in the parking lot of the festival village (Westside Park) for the post-parade concert extravaganza, the festival season will also include the beloved Children’s Carnival on May 11, the ACCBA J’ouvert which returns as a nighttime affair on May 24 and ‘Submerged’ a new cooler fete experience on May 26.
