WEM CARNIVAL - PARADES
PARADES - Two parades, starting at 13:30 and the night time lit parade at 19:45. There will be floats, bands, dance troupes, the carnival royalty float, walking groups, fancy dress and a few surprises no doubt!
PARADE ROUTE - Starts on Pyms Road, then on to Summerfield Road, Station Road, Aston Street, High Street, Lowe Hill Road and back to Pyms Road
WHERE TO WATCH - You can see the parades anywhere along the route above; if you prefer a lively atmosphere, head to the high street
ROAD CLOSURES - The parade route, and roads leading on to it will all be closed for safety. Roads will be closed up to 30 minutes before the parade starting, and will re-open in stages around the town when the parade has passed and it is safe to do so. Please respect the closures and instructions of our marshals, to ensure we can keep the event safe for everyone
After the afternoon parade, you can find many of the participants at the Gala Field (SY4 5AP, near the swimming pool) performing on the field, taking part in dance competitions, or in the fancy dress judging
