Get your hands on and feet moving at the Burke Museum to celebrate the tradition of Jazz through musical exploration in the new amazing carnaval exhibit. 

Make your own masks, costumes and props as Savor the Sound (youth music nonprofit) will provide a musical festival of the ethnic rhythms of Brazil, Eastern Europe, Cuba, India, and more while professional dancers guide you through the classic dances.  All ages are welcome to pick up shakers, sing along, and move your bodies to the ancient traditions from around the world…Carnaval style.

There is something for everyone, so bring out the whole family and invigorate your imagination.
