Over 15,000 people attend the inaugural festival in 2024.
This show features interviews with Geraldine Stafford an organiser of the Caribana Ignite festival and Steve Roth, the manager of special events for the City of Kitchener.
I was working in the lab late one night, when my eyes beheld an eerie sight….it was the Starfish and Coffee Halloween Special!
What an amazing and fun show Starfish and Coffee had on Sunday October 29th! It was no monster mash. It was a full on Halloween music bash! DJ Spookfish (aka DJ Starfish) and Little Meow (aka Little Beat) scared up a super sweet mix of Halloween related music, had everyone in stitches with Halloween jokes and talked about clever and easy to make costumes. Oh, and we had another tricky ‘What’s That Sound?’ sound challenge.
Make sure to listen to this episode and let it be the soundtrack to your family Halloween dance party!
