Micoud Carnival Launch 2018
By Micoud Carnival Committee
The Micoud Carnival Committee says its 2018 Launch last Sunday, 03rd June 2018, was a success. Committee Public Relations Officer, Mr, Malan Leonce, notes that “after three successful years, our hope is to continue to deliver a professional series of high quality events under this year’s theme: ‘Annou Ale, Our Journey Continues’”.
Judging by the large number of people in attendance and the high level of enthusiasm portrayed from the patrons, performers, carnival bands, pageant contestants and committee members, Mr Leonce deemed the event “a great success. Again, we expect this year’s event to be even more spectacular, more colourful and more enjoyable for all.”
The launch was held at the Micoud Multi-purpose Court. Apart from a late start and minor glitches, the event went on smoothly with zero violence recorded.
Mr. Leonce added that the carnival launch was able to fulfil its objectives: patrons received
a first-hand experience to see the costumes and get a preview of the band packages of three of the five adult carnival bands, as well catch a glimpse of the five Pageant contestants. Added to this, patrons were treated with performances from local artists: Melissa Tino, Tin Juice, General Bakes, DeVyrus as well as national artist like Erza, Cooyah, Black Boy & Mess, Umpa and others.
The vision of the Micoud Carnival Committee is to deliver a season of events that:
Build on local culture and artistic expressions by encouraging Micoud’s own unique talents, promoting community development and, on a larger scale, widening the tourism product of the island.
