Las Vegas Carnival, where the party never ends

Las Vegas Carnival, where the party never ends

Author: Farrah Chow-Quan October 14, 2019 Duration: 35:01

We wind down from Miami Carnival, but guess what, the party does not stop! 

We are at it again, exploring the festivals around the world, and today's chat takes us to the desert, out West, to Las Vegas.

I chat with Cindy Leonie Blackshire, founder and President of the Las Vegas Latin Caribbean Festival Inc.

I'm curious as to what LVCaribFest is all about, what made her want to create a cultural festival in Las Vegas in the first place and what really is the driving force, her passion to pursue such a feat!

Turns out I may have to add Las Vegas on my travel itinerary soon!

Farrah Chow-Quan hosts In The Mix With Carnival Kicks, a vibrant exploration of the powerful cultural and economic forces behind major celebrations. This podcast moves beyond the spectacle of sequins and sound systems to delve into the intricate worlds of Caribbean Carnivals and international music festivals. Each conversation is a deep dive into the real stories: the designers and artisans who build breathtaking costumes, the entrepreneurs who navigate the demanding logistics of event planning, and the chefs and vendors whose food becomes part of the experience. You’ll hear from creators and business minds who operate at the intersection of beauty, fashion, and commerce, discussing how these vibrant events are built from the ground up. It’s about the rhythm of business as much as the rhythm of the music, offering a genuine backstage pass to the passion and strategy that make these global gatherings possible. Tune in for a rich, multifaceted audio journey that captures the true spirit of celebration, from sketchbook to stage.
