The
Devizes Carnival and International Street Festival are an exciting mix of
traditional and contemporary carnival styles. The Devizes Carnival is the
biggest outdoor community event in the town’s calendar and consists of 2 weeks
of festival activities in late August and early September. It is one of the
biggest outdoor celebrations in Wiltshire last year’s Carnival drawing over 10,000 people to Devizes! The Carnival events include the Devizes International
Street Festival, Picnic in the Park, Confetti Battle and the Carnival Procession
amongst lots of other supporting events.

Picnic in the park, which is a free event, is held in Hillworth Park Devizes
and features a range of musicians playing live music to people whilst they
enjoy their picnics.

500 people attending. It’s a fun and social event and Hillworth Park is a
lovely venue.” Gazette and

The
Confetti Battle which takes place over the Carnival weekend is a popular local
tradition that has been taking place for many years, and one in which everyone
can take part.
The
Devizes Carnival Parade is a spectacular event and promises to be even more
spectacular this year marking its 100th anniversary. The parade
starts on the green and goes through the town centre. A free community costume making workshop has
been available to anyone wanting to build a float or take part in the Parade!
ABD
will be the lead sponsor for these exiting events and is proud to be supporting
the community!
