4th Annual Carnaval, a celebration of Indigenous and Andean traditions

We are thrilled to invite you to our 4th Annual Carnaval, a celebration of Indigenous and Andean traditions. Hosted by Quechua at Penn and Andean Representation, 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 @acuarelasdelperuny.usa.

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.

A huge thank you to our incredible co-sponsors: Campaign for Community, the Center for Latin American and Latinx Studies, the Department of Spanish and Portuguese, the Greenfield Intercultural Center, the Penn Music Department, and the Wolf Humanities Center.
