The Mayor informs us we have a partnership with Brazil. Let us have our own Carnival in the fall using Brazilian/New Orleans ideas
Pick a weekend in the fall that is not too busy for a major Carnival/October Fest type of event. Bring inn lots of tourists. In Brazil they have "Samba Schools". Each neighborhood prepare an elaborate dance routine and fancy floats for a big competitions. We could do the same using our schools and parks in summer. Bring together youth, the retired elderly, and others who can spare some time. Prepare dance and parade routines, costumes, fancy floats, etc. Lots of fun work for all during those long, slow, hot summer months when kids get in trouble the most.
