*** There are a lot of details listed below. Please make sure to click on see more if you're viewing this from the Meetup App ***

Carnival season is back and in full force.
Join the CCAA as we do CaribMask 2024 in Raleigh, NC. This year's line up includes Lyrikal, Farmer Nappy, Asa Banton, African Kings and so on.

This will be an overnight trip.

The main festivities are in Downtown Raleigh and these hotels will put you right in the middle of the festivities just steps away. It's recommended that you book sooner than later because these hotels will sell out.
