Our Mission Statement
The Chicago
Caribbean Carnical Association (CCCA)) is making a difference in the Chicagoland area by showcasing the Caribbean culture,
from all the islands, to the citizens of Chicago and the Midwest.
The organization recognizes that a critical component necessary to uplifting human dignity
is cultural and artistic expression. CCCA believes that exposure to the world’s cultures, including subcultures in our
society, leads to tolerance and more appreciation of oneself and others.
