Welcome!
The authentic Caribbean is made up of all world's peoples - African, Asian, European, Mid Eastern, and The native Amerindian. They form an ethnic montage that has composed a distinctive cultural personality. Their rhythms are unique as seen in their performing arts - music and dance; they stimulate your sensibilities with the writings of their writers and the paintings of their painters; and they nourish you with their cosmopolitan food. These characteristic, and an early socialization in multicultural, multiracial countries have allowed West Indian for example, to assimilate seamlessly into Chicago. They have as almost instinctual knowledge of how to live in a such as contemporary as Chicago.

This year Chicago Caribbean Carnival Association is proud to announce that the planning committee is in place for
