The meaning of carnavalito

 

Carnavalito on the road: celebrating latin american vibrance across bc

Carnavalito on the Road is our exciting initiative to honor and connect with the dynamic Latin American community that continues to grow across British Columbia. We recognize that many people, including migrant workers in less accessible areas, often lack opportunities to connect with others and share their experiences. Our goal is to create inclusive spaces where everyone can come together and celebrate their contributions to our local economy.
Through this vibrant event, Latincouver aims to showcase the rich tapestry of Latin American music, food, and culture. We’re bringing the spirit of Latin America to new cities in BC, infusing them with color, passion, and joy. Join us on this journey to experience the diverse and lively essence of Latin American heritage!

More than 50 artists and 40 food and service vendors from Latin America and Canada.

Carnavalito on the Road is set to whisk you away on a unique expedition, where music, dance, and traditions from Latin America converge to create an unforgettable summer experience in Fraser Valley. This is a platform where diversity is not only acknowledged but celebrated.
