Leeds West Indian Carnival organisers have come under fire after announcing a series of “unfortunate” decisions which will cause a “huge culture change” to the festival.
The organisers announcement included the following, it said: “To continue to bring to you these two events of excellence we have had to take the unfortunate decision to increase the cost of stalls, that bring vibrancy and specialist merchandise that enhances the whole experience. “We have also made the decision after our pilot of having 'An Official Drinks Bar' that all alcoholic beverage will be sold through the Official Drinks Bar ONLY. Therefore, NO stalls will be able to sell alcohol.
Malachi Miller responded: “Who makes these decisions? How can you have a carnival without stall holders selling Alcohol? It's a Caribbean festival which consists of vendors selling food and alcoholic beverages. They are literally taking culture out of the Carnival smh [shaking my head]. Chantelle Davis said: “This is greed at the highest level in my opinion! Shameful who ever made this decision.”
Reginald Hamilton said: “Are we dealing with a dictatorship, who’s idea is it to charge stall holders £600 for community services and £1000 for outsiders, when were these decisions made.”
