The Grand Carnival season is in full swing!

16/07/2019

We had only planned to explore Oceans of Fun – the water park that once held the title of the world's largest when it opened in 1982 in Kansas City, Missouri. But luckily, we were able to attend the Grand Carnivale street festival at Worlds of Fun for free!

The Grand Carnivale, held daily from July 13th to August 4th, starting at 5 PM, is a festival celebrating the culture, music, and cuisine of countries around the world, including India, China, Italy, France, and Germany. It's a miniature version of the "around the world in 80 days" tour, but participants only need a few hours to complete it.

At Grand Carnivale, visitors will have the opportunity to feel "very close" to distant countries by visiting various craft areas and participating in their traditional games. Some popular art and craft activities include making Chinese paper lanterns, Carnivale crowns, beaded bracelets, or masks...

The food court is also a must-see, where authentic chefs from various countries serve delicious dishes from their respective nations at affordable prices ranging from $7-10. Live bands perform continuously at various venues throughout the park. With vibrant bands, talented soloists, and performers of unique instruments, representatives from each country will take visitors on a high-energy musical journey that will make it impossible to resist dancing.

Here, visitors also shouldn't miss the "Spectre of Color" parade along the main street, featuring interactive music and lights, creating a vibrant and captivating atmosphere. Dancers and costumed artists will proceed to the International Plaza to conclude the parade, but the entertainment doesn't end there. Following that is a group dance under sparkling lights interspersed with the fiery glow of a giant hot air balloon.

The artists tirelessly performed energetic artistic acts.

At 10 PM, despite being energized by mocktails, the dancing finally left us exhausted. That was also when fireworks were launched into the sky to thank everyone for their participation and to invite tourists back the next day.
