Cambridge Carnival
Caribbean Carnival is a colorful and festive celebration that is rooted in African traditions. Carnival secretly allowed public communication and cultural bonding for the Afro-Caribbean cultures from as far back as the 1600s. The rich rhythmic musicality and culture of the Caribbean can be seen as revelers masquerade through the streets in dazzling handmade costumes dancing to the beat of Carnival.
Cambridge Carnival in Massachusetts, is one of twenty-four North American Caribbean-style carnivals that combine wire-bending, costumes, masks, music, steelpan, street-parades, dancing, food and craft exhibits, to display the diverse cultures of all the countries and Caribbean islands, where transplanted Africans were placed.
Since its inception in 1992, Cambridge Carnival has grown from a small street fair to one of the most spectacular events in Cambridge and the Greater Boston area. This growth led to, in 2005, a change in venue from Central Sq. to its new home in Kendall Square.
