The 15th year of Samba Fest welcomed community members from near and far to the Trinity College campus on Saturday, April 22. Overcast skies could not dampen the enthusiasm among performers and audience members assembled on Trinity’s Jacobs Life Sciences Center Quad.

In addition to marking a milestone year, Samba Fest also introduces a season full of outdoor events, notably Trinity’s May 5 kickoff for its yearlong Bicentennial Celebration.
