2023 Carnival Extravaganza
November 3, 2023 @ 6:00 pm - November 4, 2023 @ 12:00 am
CAD350.00The hospital foundation’s gala has a long history in our community. Over the years we have introduced different themes to celebrate the importance of a properly funded hospital, while providing our guests with an experience they will never forget. This year is no different as we introduce Carnival Extravaganza!
The historical origins of Carnival is very obscure. It possibly has its roots in a primitive festival honouring the beginning of the new year and the rebirth of nature. Although there is a possibility the beginnings of Carnival began in Italy linked to the pagan Saturnalian festival of ancient Rome.
Whatever its beginnings, Carnival is a celebration of life! It’s a time to enjoy a colourful parade and entertainment in a circus-like atmosphere.
Guests will enjoy delicious gourmet fare, lively entertainment, fun carnival games, live and silent auctions, dancing, and much more. All funds raised will support Bowmanville Hospital’s We Care, We Can Campaign for the redevelopment and expansion project and our Hospital’s medical equipment needs.
* A charitable tax receipt will be provided for a portion of each ticket purchased, and provided within 30 days from the date of the event.
