Nouméa’s biggest street celebration! The Carnival brings together thousands of spectators for a colourful parade filled with floats, music, dance, and island energy in the heart of New Caledonia’s capital.
Every year, the Nouméa Carnival lights up the city with colour, rhythm, and joy. This much-loved event gathers local associations, schools, and artists for a spectacular parade featuring dazzling costumes, impressive floats, and lively island beats.
Over twenty thousand people come to enjoy the show, soak up the festive atmosphere, and celebrate the diversity and creativity of New Caledonia. The evening traditionally ends with a brilliant fireworks display, marking a moment of unity and celebration.
Organised with the support of the City of Nouméa, the Carnival is one of the capital’s signature events — a vibrant, family-friendly festival that captures the spirit of the Pacific.
