2011 Carnival theme announced
12/04/2011 by admin.
Ryde Carnival Association are pleased to announce their theme for 2011.
This year we are building a traditional style float to celebrate the Island’s long tradition of Carnival Queens. Our theme is based around the Britannia legend. In AD43 the Romans first named our Islands “Britannia” and promptly gave our country a national logo - a goddess, armed with a trident and shield and wearing a helmet. To this day the Britannia goddess still personifies our country. She first appeared on our coinage in 1672 and can still be seen on our 50p coins and on many of our postage stamps.
Look out for the float during the Island Games 2011 opening parade on 25th June 2011, and of course during the other carnivals around the island.
