The mission of the Atlanta Carnival Bandleaders Council (ACBC) is to promote a broader understanding and a deeper appreciation of Caribbean culture among the Atlanta community by seeking the interest of carnival bands and steel bands, and using the Atlanta Caribbean Carnival as a vehicle for the promotion of Caribbean culture.
Atlanta Carnival Bandleaders Council (ACBC) is comprised of an Executive Board and up to 30 member bands. The Masquerade Bands and beautifully dressed during Memorial Day weekend, in explosive colors; dancing to intoxicating rhythms promoting Caribbean culture. This is our 32nd year celebrating Caribbean Culture, volunteering in our community as well as raising funds for programs near and dear to our individual Masquerade Bands objectives. It takes hundreds of dedicated people to "put on" on of the largest/fastest growing Carnivals in North America, so we frequently enlist the help of our good citizens to assist us.
