Clowning Glory
One’s childhood was probably never complete without a trip to the circus tent around town and most often than not you would remember the crowns that made you laugh. But that’s not only what the International Clown Festival aims to do. Its main objective is to make one happy. Coinciding with Children’s Day, is the fest- the first of its kind in India. With a lot of activities and shows planned for kids and adults, one is sure to have more than a laughable time from 5th November till 14th November 2010. The fest in India is organized by Martin D'Souza of Mad Hatters, the family entertainment division of Light House Entertainment (I) Pvt. Ltd. The International clown festival brings together the best professional clowns from USA and Canada.
