South American Festival

In case you didn’t realise, February is the month of Carnivale and here at The Thousands, we are partial to a little fiesta. Going beyond Mojitos and Mariachi bands, the South American Festival showcases art, craft, music, food and costumes from the land of rainforests and ruins. Marvel at Miguel Angel Ramirez‘s exhibition, INOCENCIA; get hands on in a costume making workshop; or find your feet at one of the many Latin American dance lessons. Kitsch? Well, perhaps. But still way more authentic than a night at Mad Mex. -JG
