Dakar Big Carnaval 2028
Dates taking place: November 2028 (Dates TBA)
Location: Dakar, Senegal
Carnivals in West Africa mean loudness and bright colours. Dakar Big Carnaval 2028 is an event for which people have spent months clearing their schedules and are preparing to self indulge in the experience of Senegal. For several unforgettable days, the capital of Senegal becomes a moving parade of rhythm, colour, and happiness you simply can't resist.
The Heartbeat of Dakar’s Street Celebration
Even though the goal is to have everyone celebrate Senegalese culture, creativity, and community, the best part is when the streets of Dakar are filled with dancers, musicians, and performers. There is a certain freedom in the type of creativity you can see in parades, where artists cobbled some supplies together and went all out. Traditional drums carve pathways through the loudness of the dance, and brass bands fill the streets with modern beats and rhythms.
Heritage costumes and cultural dance and storytelling from local cultural groups demonstrate Senegal's community diversity. Street carnival participants are as lively as the performers. The carnival is full of supportive and curious attendees. Families, travellers, and first time attendees take over the streets by dancing, cheering, and doing some spontaneous dance moves.

A Carnival Where Music Never Stops
Africa is home to one of the most exciting and rhythmic music scenes, and so is Senegal; and it is the driving force of the Dakar Big Carnaval 2028. The beautiful blended Afrotraditional rhythms of the Senegalese music are bound to excite during the carnival. Expect good vibes from all entertainment available in the streets.
It is very likely that the NYC style carnival you will see this year will have its streets complete with evening party-style concert and DJ performances, totally dying to make dance your night away.
The Food Is Practically a Celebration Too
This carnival is complete with some seriously good food. The Senegalese people are known for being super experimental with their flavor and taste and have a totally different take on the style of cooking. This is definitely seen during the carnival.
Imagine eating Spanish rice that contains fish from the Atlantic seashores of Senegal while watching a parade of some of the towns people. Trust me, during the celebration you will find yourself dancing your way to the stalls and inevitably spending the day and most of the night continuously eating and dancing.
Dakar Big Carnaval 2028 is a photographer’s paradise and a performer’s dream. Creative madness runs rampant and each parade becomes a competition of color and cheer to win a coveted spot as number one in Most Creative.
