Well how could GoodGym resist Carnival and the opportunity to get pimping and jammin a truck rather than toast for Sunday breakfast!

Especially as Kingston Carnival was back after 2 years away due to Covid. The carnival brings together different local communities to experience a range of music and culture and food, in a family-friendly atmosphere.

Our task was simple - pimp the DJ truck with a variety of materials and decorations kindly donated by the community.

And razzle dazzle we were done! The council's Glendale truck pimped and transformed. We like to call it a fusion look to reflect Kingston's vibrant and diverse community of different cultures.

Kingston Carnival
It's an event for the community to promote unity and celebrate cultures

It's an event that is organised by our Charity that gives our communities a much needed chance to come and enjoy the festival for the day. There is a procession which starts at 12 noon with Mas bands, drummers, entertainers and our community groups from different cultures. It starts at the Guildhall, does a loop through the town and back at the Guildhall, two stages with music, dance etc., children's area and food from different cultures. It's a non ticketed event and a family day out at little or no cost, just what is needed during these difficult times. It is done with very limited funding so rely a lot on volunteers who want to generously give back to their community.
