Jonelle Caraballo launches Edinburgh’s 2016 Festival Carnival.
Jonelle Caraballo, a finalist in the Miss Trinidad & Tobago beauty pageant UK 2016, has lived in Edinburgh for four years and has put together a band for the Carnival. She will “bring the atmosphere of Trinidad Carnival to Edinburgh Festival Carnival” wearing colourful costumes designed by her mother Gail Auguste. She joins senior players from the Edinburgh based young, vibrant samba band: Pulse of the Place.
Details of this year’s programme will be announced on the afternoon of 1st July.
This year’s Carnival will feature over 700 performers from all over the world with drummers, pipers, jugglers, marching bands, dancers, costumes, circus acrobats, giant puppets, and face painters, creating a unique spectacle in the centre of Edinburgh.
Organisers are also looking for a host of people to get involved as costume wearers, dancers, stewards, photographers, tweeters and more.
