As we celebrate 15 years of Carnaval, on January 31, 2026, we invite you to raise a glass to the memories that brought us here and the bright future ahead. This year is all about Reflection—honoring the past, shining in the present, and lighting the way forward.
Every moment supports the Clay Center’s mission to spark creativity and expand STEAM education in our community.
Black-tie with a twist. Bold style. Big energy. Come ready to shine, dance, and make this milestone year unforgettable—because the spotlight is on you.
The Carnaval 2026 Silent Auction opens Wednesday, January 28, and runs through Sunday, February 1.
