Sunday 1st August 2010
This year's theme is "Fantasies and Fairytales"
It’s colourful, it’s noisy, it’s vibrant and Swanage Carnival Procession is one
of the best on the South Coast.
The route is 2.5 miles long and meanders along the sea front, through the town and
back to Sandpit Field.
The theme this year is Fantasies and Fairytales! Be there – be amazed!
Our line
up for 2010 is spectacular – 8 bands, marching and playing a diverse range of music
including Pipes, Jazz, Latin American, Military, Pop, Rock n roll and not one but
two Masquerade Costumed Bands!
The “Fantasies and Fairytales” theme will ensure
some ingenious and very hilarious floats and costumes with themed tableaux, walkers
in fancy dress and dancers performing between the bands.
Sonny and Rainbow will
be clowning around all day and pre-procession entertainment will be provided by
Majorette Troupes, the UK Beach Buggie Club, The Christchurch Cruiser Club and the
famous Bournemouth Carnival Band will be back with their hilarious and unique style
of entertainment!
As the 2.5 mile route winds its way along the sea front and through
the town the streets will be lined with thousands of foot stamping, hand clapping
revellers caught up in the magic of Carnival!
