This is a small report from this year’s Hammarkullekarneval with some impressions and photos. This year’s carnival is in its final day, it began Friday and ends today. We visited the Hammarkulle yesterday for a couple of hours. This year we were very lucky with the weather, it was warm and delicious and everyone was happy.

Compared with last year we think that the marked part was a little bigger. We got the Mediterranean feeling. This year we didn’t spend that much time to see the carnival, but we did a little walking around the marked and had an enjoyable time. Under is a photo display of this years event:

The carnival is since 1974, a yearly tradition in Hammarkullen. The carnival was started by youth and adults through “Frisco project” on Hammarkullens leisure farm, where the first spring carnival was held. In the late 70s they made a stop for 2 years. Since 1979 have the Latin American organization participated with special dances and costumes. For every year the arrangement has grown and developed to What it has been today; a wide cultural folk festival. It is easy to understand that Hammarkull child is pride over ‘hers’ carnival and its neighborhood.

As you can see there are a lot of things going on. It is amusement park, the big stage, carnival, sales shed and not to forget all the food. There is sheds with food from many different cultures. It was a great pleasure to walk around and taste all the food from different countries. There were many types of meat and vegetarian dishes with tasted very good. All the barbecues around made the whole area to a ‘smoke screen’.

The mood.
All the people were in good mood. The Police was visible at all time and the arrangement is a great place to take the whole family. There are activities for every age group which do that everyone will like it a lot.

The big carnival started at 12:00 AM on Saturday and Sunday. If you are planning on taking the tripe next year we do recommend showing up early, because of the lack of parking area. We arrived at 11:15 AM on Saturday and the nearest parking lots was already beginning to be full. After a short time there was no parking area available in the nearest kilometer. We also recommend having with you enough cash. The carnival is in a residential area and there is no mini bank available.

We had a great time eating a lot of food and watching the carnival, so we are planning to take the tour next year too.
