Atlanta Caribbean Carnival 2023

Live Stream, Parade, TV, Events, Dates

Let's get ready to celebrate! The Atlanta Caribbean Carnival is one of the largest annual festivals in Atlanta, taking place around Memorial Day weekend each May and drawing out large crowds for a colourful weekend of live music, Caribbean style food and entertainment, culmination in a hue and lively street parade, which will now be on the Saturday.

The event covers most of the traditional Caribbean Carnival bases including of course the parade, but also a J'Ouvert event the night before. The local bars and clubs get in on the act too, with Caribbean themed music and parties throughout the carnival, making this a great time to visit the city.

TV & Streaming

In the past there was been an excellent live stream coverage of the Atlanta Caribbean Carnival, including the parade via Come See TV, although it's been a long time since they updated it. The best bet would be to go to the offical Facebook page where last minute updates and coverage will be given:
