On Friday, February 13, 2026, several hundred children took to the streets of Cap-Haïtien in a vibrant atmosphere of color, music, and joy, for a carnival specially organized in their honor by the Municipal Administration.
Under the theme "Konbit pou yon lòt Okap" (Working together for another Cap-Haïtien), this celebration dedicated to the youngest members of the community transformed the city into a truly festive space where costumes, choreography, and artistic performances showcased the creativity and energy of the children. Much more than just a moment of entertainment, this carnival is intended as a powerful message in favor of collective commitment to the development of the municipality.
Through this theme, the Municipal Administration reminds us that the transformation of Cap-Haïtien depends on the involvement of everyone: parents, teachers, artists, cultural groups, and local authorities. The spirit of "konbit," a symbol of mutual aid and solidarity in Haitian tradition, illustrates this desire to work hand in hand to build a more harmonious and forward-looking city.
Considered the future of the municipality, children have been placed at the heart of this initiative. By offering them a safe and structured space for expression, the municipality intends to contribute to building a society filled with hope and hope. Municipal officials expressed their gratitude to all those who contributed to the event’s success, particularly the chaperones, security personnel, and members of the organizing committee, who ensured the smooth running of the activity. Through this children’s carnival, the Cap-Haïtien City Hall reaffirms its commitment to promoting culture, empowering youth, and strengthening social cohesion, with the aim of building, together, "a different Okap."
