Bustling Grand Carnivale festival season

16/07/2019

We were only planning to visit Oceans of Fun, the world's largest water park when it opened in 1982 in Kansas City, Missouri. Luckily, we were also able to attend the Grand Carnivale at Worlds of Fun, which cost us nothing!

The Grand Carnivale takes place every day from July 13 to August 4, starting at 5 p.m., and is a celebration of culture, music, and cuisine from countries around the world, including India, China, Italy, France, and Germany. It is a miniature version of the “around the world in 80 days” tour that takes participants just a few hours to complete.

Coming to Grand Carnivale, visitors will have the opportunity to feel "very close" to distant countries by visiting each handicraft area and participating in their traditional games. Some popular handicraft activities include making Chinese paper lanterns, making Carnivale crowns, making bracelets with colorful beads or masks...

The food court is also a must-visit, as authentic chefs from different countries will serve delicious dishes from their countries at affordable prices ranging from 7-10 USD. Live bands are constantly performing at various venues throughout the park. With lively bands, talented solo artists and unique instrumentalists, representatives from each country will take visitors on a “musical journey” with high energy enough to make everyone unable to resist the urge to dance.

Here, visitors also cannot miss the parade along the main street with music and interactive lights called “Spectre of Color” bringing a fascinating excitement. Dancers and costume artists will proceed to the International Plaza to end the parade, but the entertainment show is not over yet. Because after that, there is a dance exchange between everyone under the sparkling lights interspersed with the fire of a giant hot air balloon.

The artists diligently performed energetic art shows.

By 10pm, despite the mocktails, the dancing finally tired us out. That was also the time when fireworks were set off in the sky to thank everyone for their participation and to invite visitors to come back the next day.
