CELEBRATING 18 YEARS OF LATIN CULTURE IN BC

Play Loud - Celebrate Proud!

Carnaval del Sol is the largest Latin American festival in the Pacific Northwest, showcasing the rich cultures, traditions, and cuisines of Latin America.

By 2026, the poster evolves its visual language to complete the cycle. The ball ceases to be merely a moving symbol and becomes the center of the event: it opens like a portal revealing the stadium, the celebration, and the union of nations. What in 2025 was a preview and a journey undertaken, in 2026 transforms into a culmination: the moment when the World Cup finally arrives and the Americas unite under one sun.
