International Carnivale
Celebrate the energy and traditions of Global Connections: International Carnivale at Navy Pier. This vibrant, free, all-ages celebration brings together the sights, sounds, and spirit of Carnivale cultures from Brazil, Jamaica, New Orleans, and beyond.
Experience the rhythm of a lively indoor parade as music, dance, and art move through the Pier, inviting guests to feel the beat and join the celebration. It’s a joyful gathering that unites global traditions through creativity, culture, and community.
