The 19th Annual DC Carnival
Will take place Saturday June 25, 2011 from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM, in Washington D.C.
It is a Caribbean Carnival with costumes and masqueraders similar to Mardi Gras. The carnival will display costumes representing the Caribbean, Latin America and the Diaspora will transform Georgia Avenue into a “Caribbean Bourbon Street” with the sights and sounds of the Caribbean.
This year’s Parade begins on Kansas at Georgia Avenue, NW and ends at Barry Place, NW across from the Howard University Campus leading to the Festival.
The Carnival Festival happens simultaneously with the Parade on Saturday June 25 from 12:00 Noon until 8:00 PM at the Howard Center Parking facility on Georgia Avenue at Bryant Street, NW. The venue will be transformed into a “Tropical Arena” with international foods, crafts and live performances from local and international artists.
