Carnavalito on the Road in 2026

The Carnavalito on the Road is a free, one-day celebration of Latin culture. Carnavalito means “little carnival” in Spanish. The event is named after the Carnaval del Sol festival in July, an offshoot of the festival.

Carnavalito on the Road returns in 2026 with events in two cities. One takes place in Surrey, and the other is in Langley.

Where is the Carnavalito?

Carnavalito on the Road takes place in two cities this year. One event takes place in June, and the other in September.

The Surrey event takes place first on Saturday, June 27th, 2026. Festivities run from 12:00 pm until 8:00 pm at Bear Creek Park. The park’s address is 13750 88 Avenue in Surrey.

The event features Latin music, dancing, food, vendors and family-friendly cultural activities. There is also a Main Stage, a Family & Kids Plaza, and a Beer Plaza for adults.

The Langley event happens later on September 6th, 2026. The event takes place at Royal Coin Park. Full details of the Langley festivities are yet to be confirmed, but they are likely to be similar to the earlier Surrey event.

The Carnavalito Plazas

Similar to Carnaval del Sol in Vancouver in the summer, Carnavalito’s event grounds consist of various plazas. There aren’t as many of them as there are at Carnaval del Sol, but there are usually still around six to explore.

The biggest areas are the Main Plaza and the Family & Kids Plaza. They feature music, dancing and other fun activities. The She Latina Plaza is a vibrant space that empowers women. There are female business owners, creatives and other leaders to meet and listen to.

The Food Plaza and Beer Plaza are the places to go for refreshments. There are various food vendors and several drink vendors selling both beer and cocktails. Finally, the Artisan Plaza features a Latin market and opportunities to experience art and culture.
