Mombasa carnival

The Mombasa carnival held in November every year, features parades and floats from every conceivable cultural and religious group in Kenya. There are two main parades which converge onto Moi Avenue which feature incredible floats, costumes and music.

The Carnival is a lively street parade where you see incredibly adorned musicians and other artists from the Kenyan coast and other parts of the country. Street comedians, Swahili Taarab singers, Maasai warriors, brass bands and individual artists in outrageous costumes brave the November heat to march in the parade.

The main stage features local bands and dancers, with the smaller stages giving you the opportunity to see local traditional Kenyan dances.

There are many stalls selling arts and crafts and for your further entertainment a sailing regatta is held along the seafront.

Opening Hours:10am onwards
