carnaval and battle of flowers

When I was younger, my parents and I used to go to Carnival to entertain ourselves, even though I suggested that it was boring and a waste of time. During two weeks, a huge number of pillars are represented the KING and the QUEEN. The aim of Carnival is to entertain the crowd with some fireworks and people who are gather around the statue to dance. This event takes place along the Promenade des Anglais, the kilometre-long walkway that stretches along the beach from the Chateau at one end, past the Hotel Negresco and all the other famous landmarks. At the end of the two weeks, the tradition is that the king has to be burned to be remade the next year.
Some people called this event a ''Funfair'',but it's a little bit different.
