50/20? Celebrations

Ok, seems 50/20 means the 50th anniversary of Kuwait's independence and 20 years since the liberation from Iraqi forces. Looks as if big plans are underway for a carnival parade with 80+ floats to parade down the Gulf road from Marina Mall to the Towers. I heard it will be on 27th February (strange cos that's neither National Day or Liberation Day) but maybe they'll be so much going on that they couldn't fit in the carnival on those days (wishful thinking on my part) and so have to have the carnival parade on 27th. Or more likely it's not really on the 27th and like many things here (17th Qurain Cultural Festival) there will be no accurate info for the expat masses til it's over.... Not if I can help it :OD
