After judging took place and the overall winner was announced the carnival procession set off winding its way around the streets of Devizes Market Place with thousands of happy onlookers waving and cheering.
Despite the disappointing dull and wet weather, the festival fortnight once again proved to be a huge success providing fun and family entertainment for free with great community spirit.
A hard act to follow!
One of the performances of particular interest during the festival fortnight was the glamorous “Bullzini Family” who were back to showcase their world premier performance Equilibrius! An enthralling and captivating story of love played out on a high-wire.
Equilibrius World Premiere performance boasts the breathtaking skills and thrills of ancient art high wire walking with a daredevil contemporary feel.
The world of fantasy is met through theatre and circus. The whole show is played out between, upon, under and on top of 2 cleverly engineered pylons facing one another with the sky as the backdrop.
The amazingly breath taking performances took place over the bank holiday weekend.
