Tampa Bay Jouvert 2026 is set for Sunday, April 19, with paint, powder, water and music closing out the Tampa Bay Caribbean Carnival weekend. (myq105.com) The event is scheduled for River Tower Park in Tampa, not Perry Harvey Sr. Park, according to the official Eventbrite listing from organizer Tampa Caribbean Festival Inc. (eventbrite.com) Tampa Caribbean Festival Inc. says the 2026 carnival marks the festival’s 21st year, with the parade and concert held Saturday, April 18, and J’ouvert following on Sunday, April 19. (tampabaycaribbeancarnival.com) J’ouvert is the dawn-style opening celebration in many Caribbean carnivals, known for street revelry, music, and crowds covered in mud, paint, powder, or water. Tampa’s version is billed as family-oriented as part of the broader carnival weekend. (tampa.kidsoutandabout.com) The Tampa Bay carnival weekend also includes a street parade, live concert, and mas bands, tying Jouvert to a larger Caribbean festival tradition rather than a standalone party. (myq105.com) Event listings for this year’s J’ouvert show a daytime schedule, with one official-style listing posting 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on April 19. (powerbrokermagazine.com) That location detail matters for anyone heading out this afternoon: Perry Harvey Sr. Park hosted Saturday’s parade and concert, while Sunday’s J’ouvert listings point attendees to River Tower Park. (eventbrite.com 1) (eventbrite.com 2) By Sunday evening, the weekend’s public events are expected to wrap after two days of carnival programming in Tampa. (tampabaycaribbeancarnival.com)
