Presented by Quechua at Penn and Andean Representation

We are thrilled to invite you to the 4th Annual Carnaval, a celebration of Indigenous and Andean traditions. This event honors our youth, families, Pachamama, and the hope for a fruitful harvest.

Join us for an exciting lineup featuring the Andean band Inkarayku and the Peruvian folkloric dance group Ballet Folklórico Acuarelas Del Perú New York.

This year’s celebration will highlight Carnaval traditions across the Andes, with cultural representations from Peru, Ecuador, Argentina, and Bolivia, showcasing the diversity and richness of our communities. Carnaval is more than just a celebration; it is an expression of cultural pride, resilience, and the spirit of community. We warmly welcome everyone to join in the joy of Carnaval.

Cosponsored by Penn's Campaign for Community, Center for Latin American and Latinx Studies, Department of Spanish and Portuguese, Greenfield Intercultural Center, Department of Music, and Wolf Humanities Center.
