| The current Carnival Queen, Carla Castro, to open the Notting Hill Carnival parade. |
The president of the Notting Hill Carnival in London, Ian Comfort, has invited the Queen of the Santa Cruz de Tenerife Carnival to open the parade in the British capital this year, coinciding with its 60th anniversary.
Comfort was on the island of Tenerife for the carnival, where he served on the jury for the Carnival Queen election gala and expressed his delight with the level of competition, stating that he hadn't seen anything like it in a long time, as he explained in statements to the online magazine 'The Showroom Mag' reported by Europa Press.
It would be, they explain, the current Queen, Carla Castro, who would have the honor of opening the London parade in this historic edition, its 60th anniversary. The event, scheduled for August 29-31, would place Castro, her costume, and her designers at the heart of one of the world's biggest festive stages, offering international exposure for the Tenerife brand and its main carnival, the Santa Cruz Carnival.
