About Calabash Carnival Club
Founded in 2003. Calabash Carnival Club "through colour we express, through voice we engage, through dance we celebrate".
We pride ourselves on being an inclusive family and community orientated carnival club who share the wonders of creative art form through showcasing our costumes and dance routines at a range of local and national festivities. We are diverse in nature and passionate about developing skillsets and respecting the social values of the communities that we represent and visit. By the implementation of a variety of multi-generational and intergenerational workshops we embrace our heritage and share and upskill future generations to explore cultural diversity and progressive multi-disciplinary art forms.
