Description
Cambridge Carnival International is a colorful and festive celebration that is rooted in African traditions and attracts thousands of people. The highlight of the festival is a grand costume parade accompanied by rich rhythmic musicality promoting all types of cultures that can be seen as revelers masquerade through the streets of Cambridge in dazzling handmade costumes, dancing to the beat of Carnival.
This unique event is planned entirely by the community for the community. The organizing committee works hard to plan an event that is inclusive, engaging, and reflective of the city’s diversity. Members of the group either live and work in Cambridge or run local businesses and have a desire to promote, preserve and share the history and culture of the Caribbean and Carnival traditions based on the models of Trinidad and Tobago and Brazil.
