Contra Carnivale has a new organizing committee and a new website! Please visit contracarnivale.org for all the latest information about Contra Carnivale 2021 and beyond.


After 15 years, we, the original organizers of Contra Carnivale are ready to move on to other adventures. We have loved bringing Contra Carnivale to all of you and we appreciate your support and friendship more than we can say.

We are very happy to have handed the reins over to a new organizing committee, who will continue Contra Carnivale into the future. We look forward to dancing with you there!

Love, Cynthia, Harold, Jean, & Keith
