Manitou Springs Carnivale, presented by Manitou Springs ManiKrewe, is celebrating its 33rd year of fun and festivities. Carnivale is a free, community-powered event that transforms the streets of Manitou Springs into a shared space for expression, participation, and connection.
Guided by this year’s theme, All You Need Is Love, the parade brings together artists, families, musicians, dancers, and builders to create an inclusive, interactive experience for all ages. It is a tradition rooted in collaboration, volunteerism, and the belief that art belongs to everyone — accessible, joyful, and alive.
Carnivale is a celebration of shared humanity — powered by love, sustained by community, and brought to life through art.
Peace. Love. And Giant Puppets!
