Carnaval d'Albi

The Association Carnaval d’Albi is the organization behind Albi’s long-running carnival, a festive cultural event in Occitanie. Celebrating its 70th edition in 2026, the carnival brings together creativity, conviviality and traditional know-how, with a new theme featured each year. The association shares information about the event and its history, helping visitors discover the carnival’s traditions and past editions.

Its program includes public parades and related events, with access to the festivities described as free. Each year, the carnival features floats, and the association publishes galleries of parade images and earlier celebrations. Its activities also include the election of the carnival’s Queen and Prince of the Imps, a public evening where candidates parade and vie for the titles for the year.

Through its website, the association provides practical visitor information, including parade routes, accessibility details and answers to frequently asked questions. It also posts event news, maintains contact and partnership information, and shares updates through social media. The organization presents the carnival as a community celebration for residents and visitors alike.
