Dawlish Celebrates Carnival Community Parade 2022

We're Dawlish Celebrates Carnival - a group of volunteers who put on a week of events in August in Dawlish each year. At the end of carnival week we usually have a big loud parade and afterwards fantastic entertainment! Remember this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6A4wstcgJss

 

Since 2020 due to the pandemic we've not been able to hold the parade although we managed to put on a carnival week in 2021 with a very tight budget when many other carnivals did not take place. In 2022 we are trying to bring the parade back as a community parade and want as many people as possible to take part. We want as many walking groups as we can and we won't be judging entries but giving rosettes to all those all take part as the parade comes back off the ground after Covid. 

But we'd like to have one big headline act to wow people and keep our community parade unique!!!

 

We're fundraising to have Ramage Mas! come to us as we did in 2019. They would give a wow factor to our parade on Friday 19th August and bring lots and lots of fun! However, without your support, we won't be able to get them to Dawlish as they are a significant investment of funds. We don't have the funding this year in our reserves to pay for them, so we are asking you to help us get them to Dawlish in 2022!

We're on Facebook if you want to see what we get up to during carnival week in Dawlish - Visit our Facebook page 

Our carnival week in 2022 is Saturday 13th to Friday 19th August 2022.
