A Note from the President:
"Now entering its 7th year, Hamilton MardiGras Carnival is a multi-cultural extravaganza that invites people of all ethnicities to join in the creation of one truly unforgettable community experience."
"Come and enjoy live music, delectable cuisine from the Caribbean and beyond, and the vibrant costumes and colors of masqueraders as they parade into Bayfront Park.
I urge and encourage you to come and enjoy all of the beauty and culture Hamilton has to offer."
"See you in the park!" -- Bernadette Ling
Since then, it has been growing steadily, and attracts tens of thousands of spectators and masqueraders annually. In fact, for most Caribana bands, Hamilton Mardi Gras has become a regular “next stop” on their agenda, as the carnival usually falls on the weekend after Caribana.
This year, a much-weakened Ling, with the assistance of his family, still managed to pull off a successful event, with some 60,000 people attending. He made a brief appearance on a wheelchair.
His family has said the event will go on annually in his memory.
Kenneth Ling leaves to mourn his wife Bernadette and children Kimberly, Roger, Kenneth Jr. and Kennyarta, as well as grandchildren Jaden, Jordan and Isaiah. – The Caribbean Camera
