The best dressed couples and guests with colourful attire joined the parade. The prize for the best costume was won by Ronnie who wore a traditional Goan outfit, followed by second runner up Riaan Fernandes, a five-year-old who wearing a red and black goblet outfit.
King Momo declared the Carnival open which was followed by glitz and glam. Guests were on the floor dancing to the music. Micky Caterers provided the catering services.
