World Carnival is coming to China this summer. The visit will be the first visit to the capital by one of the world's biggest street festivals.

To sample the more than 150 grand performances, street entertainers and gastronomic delights, people can make their way to Beijing International Sculpture Park between June 22nd and August 26th.

The show looks likely to be held in Beijing every year in the run up to the Olympics in 2008.
