Music lovers are eagerly waiting  for March 8th where Lorna will get them on their feet for a night of musical magic.
Enjoy the wonderful video given on the right side.....You will get the glimpse of Goa Carnival...The floats are mostly theme oriented.This year the majorty of floats depicted typical village life.One float showcased shepherds and also the milkmen of Goa.The theme predominantly focused on Goan traditions which are slowly fading away.
Keeping with the current times,there was a float showing the ICC Cricket World Cup.However ,football is always on Goan's mind and hence there was a float of Octopus Paul with  a message,'In the year 2050,India will win the World Cup'.
Few floats gave messages to save our greens.
