SATURDAY 30th August 2008 12noon to 4pm.
PARADE - LINCOLN AVE. FLATS TO KINGSWAY COURT
CARNIVAL - GROUNDS OF KINGSWAY COURT
The Kingslink Carnival International Festival is now in its sixth
successive year. And this year a number of local groups and agencies’ workers,
have been inspired to create an even finer event. Again, we intend
to reflect and celebrate the varied and vibrant mix of cultures
and talents which enrich Kingsway, Plean St., Kirkton, Lincoln
flats and the surrounding areas.
The festival will comprise of:
1) Community Parade of local groups and people going from Lincoln
Ave to Kingsway festival area.
2) Sports games, coaching and fun activities
3) Live stage: with some cool music & dance routines from
all corners of the world.
4) Kids arts/crafts, games, and bouncy village – much fun!
5) Food for all tastes. Try a munch at our multicultural menu!
6) Information area featuring displays, presentations and literature
from a wide range of local organisations and agencies.
7) Strathclyde Police & Community Safety mobile units
Our festival is a superb demonstration of local people working
together to challenge racism, foster integration, understanding
and value in all aspects of our community. A strong and happy
sense of “belonging” is the most potent counter to
the wholly negative myths and propaganda aimed at belittling
the hope and possibilities offered by a truly multi-cultural
area.
Our festival will celebrate the achievements of a varied mix
of local folk, working together in pursuit of peace, understanding,
health and wellbeing, for all.
Come along and join the celebration!
