Desborough set for day of fun with carnival and fete - and there's still time to take part
Organisers are calling on the people of Desborough to turn out in force for this year’s Desborough Carnival and Fete, which is being held on Saturday, June 27.
The traditional annual event will see a carnival parade through the streets of the town and end at the town’s recreation ground for a fete.
Assembling in Dunkirk Avenue at 12.30pm, the colourful parade will leave at 1.30pm, led by members of Havelock School, who will be acting as the carnival court.
Bringing their joyful music to the proceedings will be the Zion Christian Band who will perform as they walk and at the fete.
A spokesman for Desborough Carnival said: “We would like to encourage as many of you as possible to join in this year's parade.
“You can walk individually or as a group or have a float with family or friends – how and what you dress up as is your choice.
“After a bumper year last year for entries we would love to see a parade as big, if not bigger.
"Please come and join the carnival fun, enjoy our parade which will be lined with the great folk of our town who come out in force to support the day.”
Carnival-goers will be able to enjoy the family fun day including music from two local bands, bouncy castles and children’s rides, fair ground stalls including hook-a-duck and lucky dip, craft stalls and a shooting gallery.
