The Carthage Festival inscription or Carthage Festival Offering inscription (KAI 76; also known as CIS I 166; NE 430:3; KI 67; or NSI 44) is an inscription from Carthage in the Punic language that probably describes the liturgy of a festival of, at least, five days. It is dated to the fourth or third century BCE.
The inscription was found in 1872, in or near Carthage. It soon got lost, though its text had been recorded by means of squeeze papers. In 2004, the stele was found again in a depot of the Museo di Antichità di Torino (Turin Archaeology Museum), Italy. The text is carefully engraved in regular Punic letters in two columns on a white marble stele, and measures 16 by 15 cm.
