Najinsky Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Does anyone know what the date or dates for the Parade/Breakfast is during this years (2015) Elephant festival? I've got friends coming to stay and I want them to be able to see the parade and breakfast (when all the elephants march to the roundabout in battle dress, accompanied by the troupes and bands, and then eat from tables that line the north exit of the 214. I've seen the announcement here in TV that shows the 'festival' is 13-24 November. Various websites, such as this and this, give the round-up dates as 21-22 November. But all the locals my wife has spoken with are telling us it's 19-20 November, except for one who says it's 20-21 November. I just want to know which date to turn up to witness the parade and breakfast, or if there is more than one date. Thanks for any light you can shed on this annual confusion.

That festival is nothing but a TAT scam and does nothing for the betterment and preservation of the elephant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
