#followyourheART

The #followyourheART initiative was part of our 2022 Reunited Carnival and was developed to help local community groups gain more recognition and exposure and give participants opportunities to perform. Encouraging people to follow their passion, showcase their art and be inspired by what makes them dance and sing, this initiative encourages you to #findyourgroove #findyourgroup, #followyourheART.
