Dance . Sound Systems . Drumming Bands . Brass Bands . Walkabout Acts . Huge Costumes
Each year over 1200 people perform along our procession route with hundreds of professional carnival performers joining forces with local schools, clubs and community groups to create a huge collaborative performance that takes over the entire city centre!
Over a year of preparation goes into creating this colourful spectacle which sees new costume designs unveiled, carefully curated dance and music choreographies and a special finale around Laura Fountain featuring hundreds of drummers, horn players and dancers.
If you are a community dance or drumming group, a local school or carnival performer get in touch to see how you could be involved in 2025...
