You're invited to Grace Cathedral’s annual fundraising gala, Noite de Carnaval: A Celebration of Joy, on February 13, 2026!

What is Carnivale?

Brazilian Carnaval is a dazzling expression of connection, community, and creativity-a collective celebration that transcends individuality and honors our shared humanity. Through music, dance, and spectacle, it reflects beauty and resilience, hope and possibility, reminding us that joy endures and anything is possible.

At Grace Cathedral, our celebration is fueled by the same aspirations. Like Carnaval in Brazil, this evening encourages us to step beyond ourselves, to celebrate together, and to imagine a world shaped by compassion, courage, and shared delight.

Join us for an extraordinary night where joy becomes a collective act, creativity shines, and our community gathers in jubilation.
