Winterfest is up there for me too. That might be “the most wonderful time of year” if you ask me again tomorrow. 1 Quote

MDMC01 Posted July 6, 2021 Posted July 6, 2021 Not yet... lol Soon... EDIT: In all seriousness, haven't heard much about Haunt this year. However, Carnivale should be pretty cool. Quote

brenthodge Posted July 14, 2021 Posted July 14, 2021 Looks like they are upping the game a bit. Love it! Quote
Winterfestguy Posted July 14, 2021 Posted July 14, 2021 Looks great, just surprised they are using red bulbs in some of the gold garlands since carnival colors are traditionally purple, green, and gold (unless it’s a supply chain issue where they could not obtain the purple and green bulbs to use this year). Red bulbs just seems more of a Winterfest color. One of the very few official things about Carnival is the colors — purple, green and gold. Rex introduced them in 1872 in advance of his first parade.

IndyGuy4KI Posted July 14, 2021 Author Posted July 14, 2021 I am very excited to experience it again this year. Quote

The red and gold bulbs in the above photos are in Oktoberfest (Germany). 2 Quote

So if you see other colors, that’s why. By the way, the show looks great this year. They were doing a live rehearsal while I was there. 2 Quote
IndyGuy4KI Posted July 27, 2021 Author Posted July 27, 2021 Caption what the bird is thinking: (be nice/respectful) I will go first. They have been giving those beads out to everyone, but have not offered me one yet. 1 Quote
