Orlando Carnival Downtown returns from Friday, May 23rd to Sunday, May 25th, bringing the spirit of the Caribbean to Tinker Field with a three-day event of vibrant culture, high-energy music, and unforgettable fun. This annual event is a vibrant, colorful, and lively celebration of Caribbean culture that takes place annually in the heart of downtown Orlando. The event features a spectacular parade of costumed performers, pulsating rhythms of soca, reggae, and calypso music, and a diverse range of Caribbean cuisine and crafts.

The streets will be alive with stunning masquerade bands in extravagant costumes, dancing to the electrifying beats of soca, calypso, reggae, and more. The vibe is unmatched. Visitors can also indulge in a variety of Caribbean eats and treats, shop handcrafted goods, and explore the sights, sounds, and tastes of island life, right in the heart of Central Florida.

It’s a celebration for all ages and backgrounds, united by music, dance, and the vibrant pulse of Caribbean pride.
