This week's guest blog writer is Kavelle Savary, BA Child and Adolescent Studies, 2007. She is the Arts Development Officer at UK Centre for Carnival Arts in Luton"What a day! What a day!"
"Just recovering, but the memories of Luton Carnival 2009 are still as fresh as ever. The sun shone brilliantly and simply raised everyone’s spirits and expectations for the day ahead."
"There were people of all ages and races, and costumes of all descriptions, sizes and colours. The array of food on offer was tantalising and the various stalls and performances on the main stage meant that there was something for everyone. As the music trucks started pumping, Carnival 2K9 truly came alive! The food smelt better, the weather seemed brighter and participants and spectators alike were dancing and waving their hands in time to the tempo."
"As the procession got on its way, I kept eyeing the road from the marquee to see when my band was passing. I chatted to excited visitors but as I had already changed into spectacular Carnival gear, I was simply waiting to join my band mates to dance to our favourite soca music tunes! Soon enough the DJ announced the band and I was out of the marquee and ‘on de road’ to share in the true celebration of music, costume, creativity and love of life- Carnival!"
"I’m already looking forward to next year! Are you?"
