The Cuba Street Carnival is a defunct street parade and creative celebration in Cuba Street, Wellington, New Zealand. It has not been held since 2009 due to a lack of funding. The festival will be held again in 2015 under a different name. ==History== Founded by Chris Morley-Hall in 1998, the festival involves hundreds of artists, performers, street buskers, a night street parade, and a street market. The Carnival was inspired by the Notting Hill Carnival and other raucous street parades and fairs. While it ran, it attracted crows of approximately 10,000 to 20,000 people.〔 The event became biennial in 2009, in order to avoid clashing with the New Zealand International Arts Festival.〔 Controversy has arisen in recent years, concerning the non-permission of certain groups to march in the night parade, most notably the Falun Gong. Among the acts to have played at the festival are Fat Freddy's Drop, Trinity Roots, and The Black Seeds.〔 Notable parade performers have included samba bands Wellington Batucada and AKSamba. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cuba Street Carnival」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
