Right up until the last minute the weather was very wet but the rain stopped for the most part once the procession got under way.

On Sunday, March 7 the Carnival Band joins a group of Vancouver performers in the Bright Light Procession of Performing Circles on the DTES.

The evening procession circling several blocks in the heart of the DTES promises to be a visual treat. This project promotes local art galleries, public art and artists based in the community.
The procession sets off from Pender and Carrall Sts at 7:00 p.m.

The entire two weeks were great fun, due in no small part to the dedication of the many carnies who were able to make it to the gigs.

The Carnival Band wrapped up the last of 6 gigs for Place de la Francophonie on Friday night.
Amazingly for February, Friday was the only night of the 6 that the Carnival Band had to play in the rain.

Special thanks to Elgin and Annick

I’m trying to teach myself to use a new lens for gigs where low light is an issue, any lack of sharp focus or depth of field is entirely due to operator error. Thanks for your patience.
