More than 85,000 Caribbean nationals reside in Atlanta. A number of Caribbean related events are held each year and among them is the annual Carnival celebrations.

Night Carnival which has been held locally since 2019, made its Atlanta debut three years ago. The event has evolved from a fresh concept into one of the most anticipated events on the city’s Caribbean Carnival calendar, offering revellers the opportunity to continue the celebration long after the road march ends.

“When we launched Night Carnival in Kingston, the vision was to create an experience that captured the energy of carnival but presented it in a completely different way,” Mikhail De Gale, director of Fete Republic told Observer Online. “The response showed us there was a genuine appetite for carnival after dark, and that gave us the confidence to continue expanding the brand.”
