Witham Carnival

The other day, there was a carnival in Witham. According to the website, the earliest recorded carnival here was 1929, which was an occasional carnival. It was the first time to see it for me, so the image of a sort of Rio Carnival popped out in my head. Of course it wasn't like that.

Seemed like the Carnival Queens and Princesses were selected every year, and the parade of cars moved on the street slowly. They were very lovely like characters of Walt Disney World. Some people walked beside the parade with buckets and collected money, which is allocated to several local charities each year.

Also a poster competition is held for local schools to design the carnival poster. It was a lovely civic participation carnival.
