IMPORTANT INFORMATION
A popular part of our annual Carnival has always been the Carnival Procession.
To ensure we can continue to provide a great
community event we have made the decision to rest the procession this year,
based on the increasing operational and financial challenges.
All our plans for the afternoon and evening continue as normal so we hope you can join us to celebrate our 60th Carnival on
Saturday June 11th.
