Carnival 2017!

So I'm one of those firm believers that NOTHING should be spoken of Carnival until the Christmas Season and all that it represents has had all the glory and honor that it deserves.  Now that we have given due praise to the birth of our Lord & Savior, I truly believe that we can slip into a season of celebration of music, color, food, life, and culture!

Bellisima Designs has created a glittering creation befitting of Ms. Flag Fantasy, and we are looking forward to flaunting it on the 2017 Carnival Circuit!

Let the festivities begin, and by all means, let the countdown begin ... Carnival is just around the corner, and coming to a city near you!

2016 Miami Broward One Carnival!

Labor Day on the Parkway was a nice time.  Lots of color and costumes and cool Caribbean vibes for the West Indian American Day Parade!  Those who were careful enough to preserve their beads and feathers are now looking ahead to Miami Broward One Carnival which takes place over the Columbus Day Weekend (Thursday, October 6th through Monday, October 10th, 2016). 

Flag Fantasy is especially looking forward to that weekend to participate in the annual Carnival Pop Up Shop Miami, where a large number of vendors will be assembled at the Grand Café in Pembroke Pines, FL to provide last minute goods and services to the throngs of crowds converging on Miami for the Carnival that weekend.  Stop by to say hello and maybe pick up a FlagFan or 2 for you and your Crew to #RepOnDeRoad at the parade on Sunday!
