Well, it was to start at 4.30pm but started around 6pm At 4.30pm, there were about 6 groups/floats By 5.30pm, it rose to about 12 and by 7 rest of them. However, some seen arriving even after 7pm Once arrived, they need at least one hour to prepare/fixing Touch up etc Floats/Tableaux started 7.30pm and the last one at the place of origin was at 9.45pm which mean It will reach its terminating point after 11pm (Route being Kala Academy, Caculo Island, entire 18th june Road Then take left at the garden and then into Mahatma Ghandi road to Azad Maidan) Looks like there were about 60 floats As we saw placard with number 54 then after no placards seen. It also appears that there were more people this year including many foreign tourists. Some Christians presence also felt. If I am made to choose between Carnival and Shigmo floats, I will go for Shigmo. Ok. Let’s see some of the finest pics Most pics were taken before the start of the floats during broad day light.
