Well how could GoodGym resist Carnival and the opportunity to get pimping and jammin a truck rather than toast for Sunday breakfast!
Especially as Kingston Carnival was back after 2 years away due to Covid. The carnival brings together different local communities to experience a range of music and culture and food, in a family-friendly atmosphere.
Our task was simple - pimp the DJ truck with a variety of materials and decorations kindly donated by the community.
And razzle dazzle we were done! The council's Glendale truck pimped and transformed. We like to call it a fusion look to reflect Kingston's vibrant and diverse community of different cultures.
It's an event that is organised by our Charity that gives our communities a much needed chance to come and enjoy the festival for the day. There is a procession which starts at 12 noon with Mas bands, drummers, entertainers and our community groups from different cultures. It starts at the Guildhall, does a loop through the town and back at the Guildhall, two stages with music, dance etc., children's area and food from different cultures. It's a non ticketed event and a family day out at little or no cost, just what is needed during these difficult times. It is done with very limited funding so rely a lot on volunteers who want to generously give back to their community.
