Staveley Carnival

Staveley Carnival Community Arts Project is a festival of art and colour! A fantastic fusion of community arts, music, drumming, dance, puppetry, performance and carnival. The project runs biennially (every other year!) and encompasses a two-month workshop program culminating in a weekend of carnival festivities.

All the performances over the weekend celebrate the achievements of all involved and provide an inspiring, interactive festival of community events, including the ever popular 'Wearable Arts Fashion Show'. Each year we have a theme which all the workshops use as creative inspiration. The finale of the weekend is a fuel free, Brazilian style street procession creating an awe inspiring sea of colour as it dances through the streets to the infectious rhythms of the carnival bands.
