Have you conside...I understand how you feel, I do. Have you considered the costs to have the added police security and the complaints made by the individual cities? The CITIES are openly *and loudly complaining about the noise being made, the amounts of trash being left on their streets and protest AGAINST the carnival. Unlike other places the communities where the carnivals are being held are not predominantly Caribbean and do not partake in our festivities. The committee has an annual fight to bring this carnival to you and their efforts are not appreciated. Please understand this is OUR culture, not theirs and things like this has to be done for everyone to be happy. As for the charges to get into the stadium a simple way to avoid that is to play mas. Depending on which band you play mas in, you'd be allowed food and unlimited drinks.

The last of couple years made it seem like it is for the well to do who can afford $25.00 for tickets, $20.00 for parking and $9.00 for a beer. What are all the Miami carnival visiting tourist tax dollars are for. Yes, EMS, Sanitation and Police can be paid from that!!!!

I think it's because they rent places to have their carnival. It's not on the streets. Although it started in the street and stayed there for a very long time for years like 2009/2010. The bands still ended up in a park of some sorts and those places need to be paid for. Call them lol DCARNIVALABYBABYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11146879582559017388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5067515237752417251.post-5384542639296919362013-04-29T10:55:49.501-04:002013-04-29T10:55:49.501-04:00I just have one question . . .
