Imagine the streets of Lan Kwai Fong transformed into a Mardi Gras–style Street Carnival with live entertainers everywhere. The atmosphere turns into a haven of pleasure for all those who love food, drink, entertainment and fun. Become mesmerized with the rhythm of the sizzling Brazilian dancers as they move to the beat of the drums, or follow the marching band as they stroll around the block. Visit the fortune-teller or tarot card reader to see if your future desires will come true. Stop at any one of over 80 stalls to enjoy a beer or cocktail, Satay or Crepes, Hot Dog or Chilli. Most food and beverages are under $40! You can also have your face painted, or shop for local artist wares and crafts. Whether you are watching the singers perform or sitting to enjoy a pizza, everywhere you go on in Lan Kwai Fong during the Street Carnival 2006 will be a live show you will never forget.
