Hammarkullekarnevalen, Sweden.
The carnival is since 1974, a yearly tradition in Hammarkullen. The carnival was started by youth and adults through “Frisco project” on Hammarkullens leisure farm, where the first spring carnival was held. In the late 70s they made a stop for 2 years. Since 1979 have the Latin American organization participated with special dances and costumes. For every year the arrangement has grown and developed to What it has been today; a wide cultural folk festival. It is easy to understand that Hammarkull child is pride over ‘hers’ carnival and its neighborhood. Link to more pictures and informations.

Great close up portrait. All the colors and costume makes it exotic and as Warren points out, cultural.
Nice Work!!

Et flott og spennende bilde med supre farger!
Har tittet på alle de andre bildene også, og det må være litt av en opplevelse å være tilstede på dette karnevalet. Kanskje jeg får organisert en tur dit ved neste anledning!

Vi har vært der 3 år på rad, men i år så var vi i Paris., så kanskje en tur neste år. Nå er vi så heldige at vi har en overnattingsmulighet i Lysekil ikke så langt unna, så det er litt lettere å få til. Uansett så er det å anbefale, karnevalet er stort sett siste helg i mai måned, men det er lett å se på websidene om årets aktiviteter. Skulle det være noen som har tenk å dra dit, så si i fra kanskje vi skal en tur også.
