"Roll up! Roll up! One and All! Come and delight in the Carnival..."
Carnival's are nomadic fairs that travel from location to location.
Brightly coloured and lit by colourful lanterns, they always open at dusk and close a dawn to a flourish of fireworks.
The Big Top tent domintes the carnival with its many stalls surrounding it.
The smells of Candy Floss, popcorn, fried potatos, grilled meat and the sounds of Calliope Music, laughter and squeals of delight fill the air.
Every night at midnight a fine display of fireworks fills the sky above.
The "Carnies" dress in brightly coloured costumes. With the Ring Master the finest of all with their splendid Top Hat
