Does anyone know the date of the Hisaronu Carnival and have the organisers of the excellent events planned for the Calis carnival had any discussions with whoever organises the Hisaronu carnival to ensure the events dont clash - it would be a great shame if they did.

They said they'll hold it any lunchtime that you're free ! :D

Another 'Bright spark'!! My request was for genuine information.
-
Hisaronu Carnival will be held on 30th May.
Apparently, they've got an international group appearing on stage as a finale to the show.
Rumour has it that it 's ................................BONEY M !
Let's hope that they've finally got their lip-synch problems sorted out.

Hope they don't have to pay excess baggage on their zimmer frames.:D

I bet we all remember the words to By the River of Babylon and Ra Ra Rasputin !!!
How funny - Boney M sunk that low huh ? I have said for a while that the Costa del Sol is full....we get the left over scammers looking for a cheap life in the sun and now the left over bands with nowhere else to work.

Can anyone clarify that the Hisaronu Carnival is on 30th May as stated above, I have heard it is actually on the 6th June does anyone know for certain.
-
Sorry, my original info came from a much less reliable forum than this one ! :D
Banners are now up saying it's to be held on 6th June.
Obviously, Boney M must have been double booked! ;)
-
Yea aparrently Boney M will be performing in the Ukraine on 30th May, which is why the carnival has been put back by 1 week.

Turkeylad, when we first came up with the idea of a carnival for Calis we had originally hoped to hold it on 31 May but when we met with the Mayor early last year, he said that the Hisaronu Carnival was now fixed for the 30 May every year and he did not want the two to clash. He suggested we held it the following Saturday, 7 June, and all of our arrangements and planning has been based on this date.
Up until last week this was fine. However we have also since learned that Hisaronu have suddenly changed their date to Friday 6 June. This happened with less than two weeks to go before their event to accommodate the possible booking of Boney M.
We are disappointed that this has happened but there is little that we can do about it. However as the two events are so very,very different in content - Calis is a day for the whole of the family and incorporates an exhibition, craft demonstrations, a big fancy dress parade with hundreds of local schoolchildren taking part as well as decorated floats from local businesses and organisations and a free evening concert showcasing the best of local talent (12 acts to date English,Turkish and Canadian) - we hope that this will not cause us a problem and that both events will be well supported.
We really look forward to anyone from the Hisaronu area attending our first ever Calis Carnival and hope that you enjoy yourselves.
By the way beacuse we are expecting a lot of people throughout the day and evening, to ease parking in the seafront area (particularly as the road from the dolphin roundabout to the Calis Boat office will be closed to vehicles all day Saturday), the Belediye have arranged a "Park and Ride" Scheme. There will be free parking in the Gunlukbasi Sunday market area and the Dolmus Co-operative are kindly running a free dolmus shuttle service between the parking area and the Dolphin roundabout, from 11 am to the end of the evening concert.

Bearing in mind that firstly the bloke in Boney M never sung a single word, and that there are three members of the original group touring independently as Boney M, I wouldn't move my car to see them, let alone a whole carnival.
-
There is many a good word being said for Calis Carnival, and as usual few good words for Hisaronu except p**s taking. I'm sure Hisaronu will be great fun too if last year was anything to go by. I think Boney M will be a great act to get the Carnival atmoshere going.
Good luck to both Hisaronu and Calis for their carnivals. I'm sure both will be a great success for different reasons. Well done to the organisers of both events for giving their time and efforts.
-
I'm sorry if it came across like that. I wasn't taking the p**s out of Hisaronu carnival. I was taking the p**s out of Boney M :D
-
Thanks for your kind words Stressed Eric, we too hope that both events will be well supported and really successful. Loads of work has been put in for both events and we just need the people to come and support us both.

We left Hisaronu on the carnival night, I am sure that we missed a great night, we walked through the town about 10 pm and it was heaving, everybody was in a party mood,Had been watching the workmen getting the stage ready in the morning and the young school children rehearsing there dancing, well done to everybody involvrd for all the hard work,It realy looked a well organised event
-
The Hisaronu Carnival was really good, the best I have seen in 4 years of being here. The atmosphere was electric, and Boney M's performance was excellent. Who cares if the were the original's or not? They put on a really fantastic show, and everyone was dancing and singing along. My son's are both still singing the songs now!!:D
-
I was at the carnival and i had a great time!
We had a great view from "Heads or tails" bar watching the acts on stage!
Would love to attend next year also, was a fun night :)
-
It is good to have carnivals in both Hisaronu and Calis, but I did wonder which was best. After evaluating all the facts I noted that Hisaronu had Boney M.
So congratulations Calis on the best Carnival ;)
-
They did get the crowd going but Boney M they were not, in fact I am sure the guy was turkish. So I would also like to say congratulations Calis on A great day and night.Well done all the organisers.
