Jacksonville Caribbean Carnival 2017

by Weldon Ryan

It was a severely hot day as with most August days in sunny Florida.  But no one seemed to mind.  All of the vendors were set up very organized and ready for business.  It seemed the right amount of vendors because the Carnival had one food vendor that constantly busy with lines spanning across the field.   "The Art of Carnival" tent was no exception to the set up.  We had our display up and we were ready with our pop-up Art of Carnival" show featuring the fine art prints we have for our "Art Basel or Bust" fund raiser.

Despite having a small array of Mas Bands there was sufficient creativity and reverie to make the parade of revelers a dynamic procession.  The Mojo Jumbie's  were great.
