Episode 83: LaToyah McAllister-Jones on the return of St Paul's Carnival
St Paul's Carnival is returning to the city in July for the first time in three years.
The Covid-19 pandemic temporarily put the colourful celebrations on hold, but now the carnival is back and is expected to attract more than 100,000 people to the streets of St Paul's for a day of connection, community and culture.
LaToyah McAllister-Jones, executive director of St Paul's Carnival, speaks to Rachel Sutherland about the wider meaning of the celebrations, how communities can get involved and what to expect from this year's historic event.
