On October 27th in the framework of SunChild 4th International
Environmental Festival, the traditional Animal Carnival Parade will
take place.
This unique event will involve about 500 young people from Yerevan as
well as 6 regions of Armenia (Armavir, Gegharkunik, Ararat, Tavush,
Kotayk, Lori) who will march through the streets of Yerevan wearing
animal costumes and masks created from waste materials. The Animal
Parade will fill the capital with the air of wildlife. As in the
previous years the Carnival Parade will be led by the Samba-band
Confusao from Bremen, Germany.
The parade will start near Matenadaran, then the participants will
march through Mashtots Avenue to Tumanyan Street and will finalize in
the Northern Avenue with an open air concert.
The Animal Carnival Parade aims to advocate against the violation of
animal rights, especially of endangered species.
The Animal Carnival Parade is a unique event as well as a contest
where the participants compete in 3 categories:
- best environmental costume
- best creative solution
- best musical group
The results will be announced on February 2014.
