Friday 31st October - Carnival in the City
Call for carnival participants for Halloween
The North West Carnival Initiative is calling on dancers, singers and those interested in participating or contributing towards this year’s carnival to come on board.
If you can dance, sing or perhaps sew costumes and have some innovative ideas for this year’s carnival celebrations then you will help to make this year’s event a spectacular occasion. We would also like to hear from community groups who are interested in getting their communities involved in this great event for the city.
