The Beat Initiative proudly presents a unique spectacle of artistic, physical performance declaring that the world is a circus andLife Is A Carnival! The event takes place at the Botanic Gardens & Ulster Museum; and features a Carnival picnic in the park; circus actors and puppets on walkabout; singers on stage, music here and drumming there; twisting, tumbling gymnasts and, high above, aerial dancers on the wall.
All ages can participate in the Sunday afternoon Picnic in the Park through workshops for puppet making and puppet parading: as well as enjoying the entertainment that culminates in vertical dance on the wall of the Ulster Museum to a live soundtrack performed by The Carnival Band.
