The above link is confirmation that the rumors were true and financial issues are threatening to prevent the annual DC Carnival Parade from being held this year. This is truly unfortunate as (and i'm not being impartial just cuz i live here) DC Carnival is pretty good and usually attracts big name acts like Bunji, Fayann and Machel. As someone who has dabbled in the DC promoting world I know a lot of people who depend on this event to draw the crowds necessary for their own parties I hate to think of the negative impact this could have on them as this is a huge chunk of money they will lose as trust and blieve DC Carnival fetes are always ram out! So please give a little if you can...they certainly gave to us by allowing us to experience our culture so far from home for all these years and stepping things up year after year to ensure that we, the customers were satisfied. Remember, every little bit helps!
