And as such the people should at least be able to offer some input in the golden anniversary of Carnival.”
The SCDF has opened an ideas period from Sunday, June 10, 2018 until June 30, 2018. Persons who have Carnival 50 ideas about events, slogans, projects, activities ect should email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. before June 30.

“This is a voluntary effort for Carnival. There is no prize or such attached. We simply want to involve the public. We are almost ready to launch the special logo for Carnival 50 as well as the schedule for the entire Carnival season. Before we get to that point (launching of the schedule) we would like to hear from you,” the foundation said.
