About
Russafa's carnival is an intercultural street party led by migrant communities and dance fraternities. About 80 folk groups and drum bands dance morenada, tinkus and caporales in feathered, embroidered costumes, with live music, a craft market and kids' workshops along the way. It is loud and colorful, and best for kids who like a crowd and a beat.
