Cambridge Carnival Festival

Cambridge's largest festival, a colorful and festive celebration that is rooted in African and Caribbean traditions.

This free festival, embarking on its 22nd year, 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 held next to MIT and includes ethnic foods, 4 live music zones, a Kidsfest, and Health Fete which promoting healthy lifestyles for residents and visitors.

It is also an opportunity to celebrate Cambridge’s diversity, enjoy international foods, and purchase multicultural crafts from around the world!
