Carnival & street

Nine street traditions across seven cities, with different dates, ticket models and route status. Several 2027 windows are published; others are customary or still unannounced. These guides separate a festival date from its event-by-event programme, access rules and street operations.

Barranquilla, Colombia · 6–9 February 2027; one Tuesday listing pending

Barranquilla Carnival 2027

The organizer’s page lists Carnival for 6–9 February 2027, with major parade events on 6–8 February and several named activities. Its Tuesday 9 February item is still marked “a confirmar” (to be confirmed), so the overall date window is published but not every programme detail is final.

Members of a tuk band perform with drums and other instruments during Crop Over in Barbados in July 2024.

Bridgetown, Barbados · no 2027 dates or route announced

Crop Over Festival

No 2027 Crop Over dates, programme or Grand Kadooment route were announced in the official material reviewed by 30 October 2026. Barbados’s National Cultural Foundation describes Grand Kadooment as the festival finale, but its route page is dated 5 August 2024 and the current Love Crop Over traffic notice covers 3 August 2026; neither establishes a 2027 plan.

No 2027 dates or Grand Kadooment route announced in sources reviewed by 30 October 2026 · 2027 access and ticket terms not published

Carnival-goers in colourful, feathered costumes take part in New Orleans Mardi Gras in 2025.

New Orleans, United States · 2027 schedule posted as tentative

New Orleans Mardi Gras 2027

The Mardi Gras New Orleans schedule lists Fat Tuesday as 9 February 2027 and posts a tentative parade calendar. It identifies the krewes’ usual routes, not a guarantee of the final 2027 street plan; follow city notices when route and closure orders are issued.

Mardi Gras Day · 9 February 2027; posted parade schedule is tentative · Free street parades; optional, venue-specific grandstands

A woman in a red feathered headdress stands among Carnival participants and spectators on a Notting Hill street in 2019.

London, United Kingdom · 2027 dates published; map page still shows 2026

Notting Hill Carnival 2027

The organiser’s day pages list Carnival for 28–30 August 2027: Panorama on Saturday, children’s events and J’ouvert on Sunday, and the adult parade on Monday. The Maps page still labels its downloadable map as Carnival 2026, so the 2027 route, road closures and full programme are not yet confirmed by that map.

28–30 August 2027 · Panorama Saturday; children’s day Sunday; adult parade Monday · Public street programme; paid Panorama and grandstand options

Dancers in Diablada costumes take part in the Oruro Carnival parade in 2025, with spectators and lights along the street.

Oruro, Bolivia · municipal portal labels 2027; dates and route not verified

Oruro Carnival 2027

The municipal GAMO portal is branded “Carnaval en el año del Bicentenario · Oruro 2027” and includes map sections for Carnival entry and alternate routes. On 30 October, the tested route screen showed a base map and menu but no visible parade route data; exact festival dates, route and operations therefore remain unverified.

A line of percussionists in blue and gold costumes performs at Rio’s Sambadrome during the 2013 Carnival parade.

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil · 2027 Sambadrome dates published; street-bloco routes pending

Rio Carnival 2027

LIESA lists the 2027 Sambadrome programme for 5–9 February: Série Ouro on 5–6 February, Grupo Especial on 7–9 February, and the Champions’ Parade on 13 February. Riotur says the street-bloco season begins 16 January, but 2027 blocos are still in the permit process and their routes are not yet a citywide operating plan.

Sambadrome: 5–9 February 2027; Champions’ Parade: 13 February · street-bloco season begins 16 January, routes pending · Ticketed Sambadrome; street-bloco terms vary and remain incomplete

Festival-goers in white clothing and red neckerchiefs gather in a Pamplona street during San Fermín in 2014.

Pamplona, Spain · customary 6–14 July window; 2027 programme pending

San Fermín 2027

Pamplona’s official tourism pages describe the recurring festival window as 6–14 July, with the Encierro bull runs from 7–14 July. The city had not published a specific 2027 programme or operations plan in the reviewed sources, so those dates are shown as the customary window rather than a confirmed 2027 schedule.

Customary 6–14 July festival window; Encierros 7–14 July · 2027 programme not published · Mixed city events; bullring and private viewing are separate

Masqueraders from the 3Canal Jouvay band greet one another on a Port of Spain street during Carnival in February 2024.

Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago · 2027 dates published; routes pending

Trinidad Carnival 2027

VisitTrinbago lists Carnival Monday and Tuesday as 8–9 February 2027, and the National Carnival Commission’s decade calendar provides an organizer cross-check. The current NCC parade-route page is explicitly for 2026; a 30 October 2026 supplier notice names sites for 2027 works but does not publish a public schedule or route.

Two masked Carnival figures in elaborate costumes face one another in Venice in 2010.

Venice, Italy · 2027 date window published; street-show programme in progress

Venice Carnival 2027

The organizer lists Venice Carnival from 23 January to 9 February 2027. Its Street Show call gives selected performance dates, but the full programme still carried 2026 material on 30 October; the public-space schedule is therefore not complete. The separate Official Dinner Show is a ticketed event, not a pass for Carnival across the city.

02 · Planning notes

What to verify before booking

Edition status

Confirm the named event component before booking. A ticket for a Sambadrome sector, Panorama night, grandstand or dinner show is not a citywide Carnival pass; a prior-edition route, closure or transport plan is not a 2027 plan. The map is approximate city orientation, not an entrance, route or direction map.

Travel details

Use the organiser’s current access, ticket, transport and accessibility instructions. A recurring host or typical month is not confirmation of next year’s programme or exact site layout.
