Vancouver’s Brazilian Carnaval in 2026

The Brazilian Carnaval is an event showcasing Brazilian culture in Vancouver. It features live music and various activities indoors.

As many as 15,000 Brazilians live in British Columbia, many of them in Metro Vancouver. The Brazilian Carnaval is hosted by Latincouver which is an organization that brings together Latin Americans and fans of the culture. Latincouver is also behind Carnaval del Sol in the summer and Latin American Heritage Month in the fall.

When and Where

Last year the Brazilian Carnaval happened on Saturday, March 7th. It will likely happen around the same time in 2027, but exact details are to be confirmed. It’s held at the Croatian Cultural Centre, located at 3250 Commercial Drive in Vancouver.

Typically, the entire program runs from noon until 11:30 pm. There are family-friendly activities including face painting, cultural booths, demonstrations and Brazilian music. From 6:00 pm until 10:00 pm, there’s usually a Night Party for ages 19 and above. Headlining artists take the stage and perform the night away with rhythms of Samba, Axé and more. During the Night Party there’s also a designated family area for folks with kids. This section’s capacity, however, is limited.
