"This is a
historical moment for carnival worldwide since it is the first time that a
stadium has been built outside of the Caribbean with Carnival in mind; keeping
in mind that carnival has been exported from the
Caribbean
for almost 45 years. Broward Caribbean
Carnival is the model carnival of the future and finally we have a venue thanks
to
Broward
County
and its hardworking staff and our
Sponsors throughout the years. With the wide range of cultures that we are
afforded in
Broward
County
it encourages us
to build bridges between them. This is
our version of Super Bowl; Carnival in
Broward
County
now in its 6th year
has been endorsed by the
Broward
County
. Many cities are now jumping on board before
it’s too late.” says Andy Ansola
President/CEO of BCCI.
“The Broward
Caribbean Carnival is an event which will bring more business to the City of
Lauderhill
, creating new business
opportunities for our Chamber Members to partner with others to help their
business grow. We are looking forward to the business opportunities and hosting
this world class event”. Sharon Trepiccione, Vice President of
Lauderhill
Chamber/ Manger VP Bank
