[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Summer Carnaval (Dutch:Zomercarnaval) is a yearly event in Rotterdam and Arnhem that mimics the Carnaval of South- Latin-America and the Cape Verde Islands. In the cold, Dutch climate Carnival often is held in the winter. This climate doesn't lend itself for celebrating carnival in the Latin-American and Cape Verde manner. The Summer Carnival offers them an opportunity to still celebrate. The Arnhem Rio on the Rhine attracted more than 150.000 visitors, while the Rotterdam event attracts nearly a million visitors yearly. Summer Carnaval is often compared to Karneval der Kulturen (Berlin) and Notting Hill Carnival (London). ( source : Wikipedia)
