RE: SteemitBoard Carnival Challenge - The Post
What the heck!?! They don’t let you have carnivals up in Canada?! Or do you crazies just call it something else? 🤔
You aren’t missing much, they are a bit sad most of the time.. even though we call them “fairs” around these parts.. but my goodness I didn’t have to google it. 😜
There's one around here that I've never been to. Pretty sure it'd qualify as "cultural appropriation" to go.
I grew up in South Jersey and what is known as Carnival we called: Shrove Tuesday which is the day before Ash Wednesday (I grew up in the Episcopal Church). We would have pancakes. Later, when I lived with my Puerto Rican foster-parents (Assemblies of God/Pentecostals), they did not celebrate.
I have never been to Carnival, but did have a layover in New Orleans once. Those folks don't need Carnival as an excuse to party from my experience. Bourbon Street is off the hook!
