ABOUT CARNIVALWELL
Health and wellbeing, built into Carnival.
CarnivalWell is a platform that helps Carnival festivals and organizations embed health, wellbeing, safety, and harm reduction into the Carnival experience through culturally grounded partnerships, public education, and community programming.
THE DIRECTION
Every Carnival deserves a dedicated health and wellbeing partner.
Our vision is for health and wellbeing to be as intentional in Carnival planning as security, logistics, and emergency support—without changing what makes Carnival special.
