Cape Town Carnival and CPUT unite
COUNT DOWN: Some of the costumes CPUT students helped conceptualise
Thursday, 13 March 2014
After months of hard work CPUT students’ creations will finally go on display at the Cape Town Carnival on Saturday evening.
Industrial design students have been diligently creating the floats and intricate costumes that will ignite the FanWalk in Green Point and wow thousands of spectators- and CPUT staff and students are encouraged to join the fun and support them.
This year the theme is ‘Imagine’ and Carnival Creative Director Brad Baard says CPUT students did plenty of that when creating the floats.
“CPUT students bring great energy and creativity to the event,” he says.
“Their mad-cap imaginations are like a creative melting pot of ideas and we are very grateful to them.”
The Cape Town Carnival consists of over 2 000 costumed performers, a spectacular parade of giant floats and live musicians which together make for an unforgettable experience.
The public is encouraged to start lining the streets from 3pm tomorrow in order to claim their seats, the parade then starts at 7.30pm.
The fun culminates in a party where DJ Fresh and MiCasa will perform.
