St Agnes Carnival 2024
Welcome to St Agnes Carnival. Did you know, it will be our 60th year of the St Agnes Carnival revival. The procession’s tradition dates back many years, to the time when the village streets would have been lined with miners and fishermen, bal-maidens and fishwives. What makes St Agnes Carnival such fun? It’s about the local community spirit.
This year, the procession will begin at 5:00pm on Saturday 3rd August 2024 from the carnival field on Goonvrea Road, St Agnes and travel through Church Town, along Trevaunance Road, finishing at the St Agnes Sports Club,for the carnival prize giving, some live music, bar and food.
Winding through the village streets, you will see an enthusiastic and exciting procession of fancy dress, local bands and people of all ages having a great time! Clever floats, great ingenuity, even dance routines, all led by the famous Giant Bolster!
The St Agnes Carnival is the highlight of the year, not only for the people of St Agnes parish, but also for holiday-makers- many of whom even book their holidays to coincide with that magic first week in August! We cannot wait to bring even more fun after the success of our procession in 2024.
Join us for the procession beginning at the Carnival field on Goonvrea Road, St Agnes at 5:00pm on Saturday 3rd August 2024. We cannot wait to see you there!
