Atlanta Caribbean Carnival

Atlanta Caribbean Carnival Producers of the official Downtown Atlanta Caribbean Carnival. www.atlantacarnival.org Since 2005, ACCBA has produced the annual Atlanta Caribbean Carnival.

In 1987, a diverse group representing several Caribbean islands came together to familiarize the metro Atlanta community with Caribbean culture through the presentation of a West Indian style carnival. The first Caribbean Carnival in Atlanta was held in 1988 and became the official kick-off of the U.S. carnival season and brought thousands of visitors to metro Atlanta for Memorial Day weekend. The

events surrounding Atlanta Carnival became a mainstay on the calendars of West Indians from all over the world. In 2003, several leaders of local masquerade bands came together to form the Atlanta Caribbean Carnival Bandleaders Association (ACCBA). The group was formed to represent the interests of the masquerade bands in the planning of the Atlanta Caribbean Carnival. The goal of the group was to serve as an advocate to represent the needs of the bandleaders and to offer mentoring and aid to those taking part in the art form of producing carnival costumes. The group has brought thousands of patrons to venues throughout Metro Atlanta. ACCBA is dedicated to producing events that helps increase awareness of the various Caribbean art forms and to working within the community to promote diversity and art education. This year's festivities promise to be even more exciting than ever. The Parade of Bands and the performances at the Festival Village are guaranteed to take the Atlanta Carnival to the next level. Thank you in advance for your help and support in making Atlanta Caribbean Carnival a huge success.

There’s a certain responsibility that comes with being the LAST band on the road. ⚠️🔥

Truck #19.
The final truck.
The final energy.
The final pressure.
The final explosion. 💥

The last band isn’t there by accident.
The last band is built to leave a lasting impact.

To carry the road all the way to the end takes stamina, pressure, ex*****on, energy… and a band that truly understands the assignment. ⚡️

Madd Colors Carnival knows exactly what that responsibility means… and we proudly accept the challenge. 🔥

So when the parade starts winding down, don’t make the mistake of leaving early.

Head to the back of the road.
Come witness the chaos.
The color. 🎨
The music. 🔊
The pressure. 🌪️
The pure spectacle of the FINAL band standing. 👑

ATLANTA… we’re coming to mash up the road on Saturday. 🔥

LAST-MINUTE REGISTRATION for Atlanta Carnival ENDS TOMORROW — Wednesday, May 20.
