Until we do not have any news from the Prague carnival, let me just let you know that during the summer a lot of cities around the world is celebrating the carnival parades. Some weeks ago, Amsterdam did great, and last weekend also Denmark and San Francico.
If you are planning to go to Finland,19th Helsinki Samba Carnival will take place in June 12th-4th. The Finnish samba schools (nowadays total 7) are having their major happening during weekend including Finnish Championship competition with high class Rio style parades (5 participating this year). In between you'll find all kinds of carnival groups like capoeiristas, Sambic, salsa dancers, visiting samba group from Sweden etc. All together there will be almost 1500 participants on the street and number of audience exceeds 30000. In Fri and Sat evening there will be great Bailes of Carnivals presenting shows and a lot of partying. HSC is one of the biggest free, open air happenings in Helsinki and it's been elected 2006 in the TOP50 festivities of Europe.
The Carnival in Prague is too far to be one of the biggest in Europe but does not mean that is not good and we cannot have fun!Let us wait the news to see what the carnival will bring us this year.
