The highlight of our association’s work is the Vienna Carnival, which takes place on Sunday, June 28, 2026, starting at 1pm noon in the heart of Vienna. Prior to this event, there are numerous pre-events, and following the Carnival, there will also be an after-party.
The Vienna Carnival is inspired by the Caribbean Carnival in Trinidad and Tobago, as it is mainly through the fusion of different cultures that it originated. Intercultural exchange, acceptance, and joyful celebration are at the forefront.
As a gathering in motion, the Vienna Carnival advocates for the following:
● Visibility of the culture of the African and indigenous diaspora
● Promotion of intercultural communication
● Solidarity, tolerance, and peaceful coexistence
● Human asylum and residency policies
● A free and pluralistic society
● Anti-colonial resistance
● Against racism & patriarchy
● Against discrimination
● For the rights of LGBTQIA+ individuals
