It's odd that they can announce these Events so far in advance, yet people have been wanting to know for months when this year's Carnival is taking place - the dates were only announced last week!

Problem is, they can still change the dates. Classic examples being Windsurf World Cup and Arena Negra. Both changed dates after loads of people commited to come on holiday! Not good PR.
