For nearly ten years from 1996 Banana Link collaborated with partners in London and Brighton to produce a carnival troupe and float at
Notting Hill Carnival to raise awareness of Fairtrade and Caribbean
bananas.
Please visit the Carnival web pages. Banana Link will not be participating in this year's Notting Hill Carnival but looks forward to being actively involved in Carnival 2009.
"Carnival is an important form of cultural expression for Caribbean people at home and abroad. What better way to illustrate the prospects - and problems - for the future of the Caribbean banana industry and fair trade." Renwick Rose, Coordinator, Caribbean Farmers' Association.
