Manningham Spring Festival

It was a marvelous day at Ruffey Lake Park.

There were huge number of activities, band performances, dancing, aerobics, horse cart, cultural performances, community groups, international food court, arts and craft, rides, jumping castle, bungy trampoline, stiltwalkers, face painting, boomerang throwing and many many more.

There was even a playground for dogs and cats from the Friends of Manningham Dogs and Cats.

How wonderful! :D



I never thought lizards can look so good! Look at these frilled lizard stiltwalkers!

Totally love the frock, the hair styling, make-up! What about the China Dolls and the Carnivale Duo. For a moment, I thought I was in Rio de Janeiro Carnival! :)

I was amazed how skilled they were, walking everywhere in the park, on all surfaces, on bridges, slopes with feets no bigger than a fifty cents coin. They participated in the parade with the large crowd as well.. Got to be careful where they were stepping on! Impressive!



The youth bands were mad! Look at the hair! To say it was loud is a grose understatement. They were screaming into the mics! I was worried about getting knocked over at times because part of the performance involved a crowd dancing in front of the stage, pushing one another and some falling to the ground (intended, not chaos). Wish I could stay there for every single performance.

Even our canine friends were having a great time at the festival. Look at this puppy. Cutest thing ever! Those big eyes and happy smile. 0_0

The dog below, aptly named Toffee, loves fetching ball. "Come on! Throw it! Throw it! Come on!"

Wish I took our own Yuski there to socialise and play with his canine relatives.
The Bungy Trampoline uncovers the "crouching tiger, hidden dragon" in any kid! Wow!!
