About Chicago Caribbean Carnival

Rooted in a global tradition that includes world-renowned Carnivals in Trinidad & Tobago and Brazil, Caribbean Carnival is a vibrant celebration of history, freedom, and cultural expression through colorful costume, dynamic dance, infectious music, and traditional Caribbean cuisine.
We are committed to engaging and educating youth and the broader community through these powerful traditions, while elevating the Caribbean Carnival experience in Chicago and its surrounding suburbs. Our annual celebration brings people together from around the world in the spirit of culture, creativity, and unity.
The Chicago Caribbean Carnival Parade & Festival takes place every third Saturday in August at Midway Plaisance, located on the University of Chicago campus. Set against a beautiful backdrop of Chicago’s downtown skyline, this family-friendly event welcomes people of all ages and from all walks of life.
