About VBIC
The Virginia Beach International Carnival is more than an event—it’s a celebration of culture, community, and unity. Founded in 2023 as a nonprofit organization, our mission is to share the vibrant traditions of Caribbean heritage while fostering connections among the diverse residents of Virginia Beach.
At the heart of the Carnival is a commitment to preserving and promoting the rich tapestry of Caribbean culture—its music, dance, food, and art—that inspires joy and a sense of belonging. Beyond the festivities, we are dedicated to making a lasting impact by addressing educational disparities within the community. Through partnerships, programs, and initiatives, we aim to empower youth with the tools and opportunities needed to build a brighter future.
The Virginia Beach International Carnival serves as a bridge between cultures, offering an immersive experience where differences are celebrated, and unity thrives. With each year, we continue to grow, bringing people together to honor heritage, embrace diversity, and strengthen the bonds that make our city truly extraordinary.
