Cambridge Carnival 剑桥嘉年华是非洲传统的一个色彩缤纷的喜庆节日。最夺人眼球的当属大型的艳服表演游行，浮夸耀眼的服饰张扬着节日的喜庆，伴随着非洲特色的节奏感音乐，艳舞整个剑桥地区。

2017年第25届剑桥嘉年华将于9月10日举行，欣赏彩装游行之余，还可以享受国际美食，以及见识和购买来自世界各地的手工艺品。更有两个大型音乐舞台表演，其中国际舞台将展示世界音乐、雷盖（Reggae）和索克（Soca）音乐；观赏舞台则用于游行服装的评选。儿童节目则有脸部彩绘、踩高跷、艺术手工艺品等。

重头戏- 彩装游行（Costume Parade ）包括Steel Bands 钢鼓乐队和服装竞赛。游行从下午12:30到4点，路线约1.3英里，在Blackstone Street  (查尔斯河River Street 和 Western Avenue 附近)开始游行，在River Street 沿着Mass Ave行进到Central Square，继续到Main Street，最后在Kendall Square靠近MIT（Technology Square in the foreground of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ）处结束。
