Escape the cold and come celebrate Carnaval with us for a day of workshops, talks, and a party! When Carnaval celebrations come around each year, cities throughout the world explode in a spectacle of color and texture so vivid they feel like a dream. But the celebrations are very real, taking place everywhere from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to Haiti, from downtown Toronto to Calabar, Nigeria where parades can stop traffic for a day or two, or a month. Each respective festival has a rich history of its own, borne from the unique chemistry of its region.
