RAIN OR SHINE!

The Cambridge Carnival Committee thanks the City of Cambridge and City departments: Police, DPW, Fire, Traffic and Inspectional Services, our 50+ volunteers, vendors & exhibitors, sponsors and performers for supporting this years festival. The theme for this years Carnival is By The People For, The People as we unify the city in celebration of diversity and community.

Cambridge Carnival is a colorful and festive celebration rooted in African traditions. This free festival is celebrating 25 years this year and is considered a Cambridge Institution, and is the largest festival in Cambridge with thousands of attendees. The highlight of the festival is a grand costume parade accompanied by rich rhythmic musicality promoting all types of cultures. Participants can be seen as revelers masquerading through the streets in dazzling handmade costumes, dancing to the beat of the Carnival. The festival is also an opportunity to celebrate Cambridge's diversity, enjoy international foods, and purchase multicultural crafts from around the world!
