Falmouth Carnival
Organised by Falmouth Marine Band Cornwall in partnership with Falmouth Town Council, the Carnival is always a highlight of Falmouth Week.
Pre-carnival fun begins at The Falmouth Rugby Club, TR11 2FB, with the procession departing the recreation ground and heading down Killigrew Street and through The Moor, Webber Street, Market Street, Church Street and Arwenack Street, ending at Events Square.
All money raised by the Carnival goes to local community groups and charities based on nominations by the entrants!
Get ready to immerse yourself in a day filled with music, dance and vibrant entrants, as we celebrate the spirit of Falmouth. Mark your calendars, gather your friends and family and show off your colourful carnival costumes!
