Eastbourne Carnival is a vibe that Eastbourne needs!
Eastbourne Carnival was such a vibe and exactly what Eastbourne needed
If you was down at the Eastbourne Carnival on Saturday 4th June you would have been met by lovely soca music, exotic and flamboyant dancers, vibrant colours from the wide verity of specially made costumes, a beautiful lady on stilts and that was just to get the Carnival started through the main Eastbourne town centre! This is all after the Mayor of Eastbourne gave the Eastbourne Carnival he’s blessings and told some history of previous Carnivals.
This years Carnival all started off at The Enterprise Shopping centre, the Carnival then made its way through the heart of Eastbourne’s town centre bringing smiles and amusements to visitors and residents alike. Straight past The Beacon Shopping centre and through the bus lane, but there was no hold ups, as it was planned perfectly. Phones could be seen everywhere, people smiling ear to ear and even a select few getting carried away with the sound and vibe of the Carnival music, yes thats right people was generally just joining in dancing along in Eastbourne’s town centre with all to see.
As these devoted performers and artists alike made their way through the town they engaged with the public, stopping for pictures, started dancing with children and generally brought a vibe to the streets of Eastbourne for all to enjoy. It was a lovely random surprise for all the visitors, shoppers and residents of Eastbourne who had no idea an event like this was passing through the town. If you was there you would have felt the joy that brought to everyone by this start to what was a fantastic day of Carnival.
As the Carnival moved up through the town to the seafront, more and more people followed, crowds of happy people join the already waiting hundreds of people of Eastbourne seafront to see all the floats that would go by. The Carnival joined all the floats and they whole Carnival lit up Eastbourne seafront with music, summer vibes, great performers, so much colour and happy faces all around. It was such a great event, easy to say it was a success!
