We will inform you of local events such as the Victorian Christmas Market, Santas Grotto and of course the ever popular traditional Skegness Carnival which begins a week of fun (and mainly free) events in the height of Summer.
Local businesses and organisations, bands, dance troupes and individuals take part in the Carnival which sees the streets lined with spectators from start to finish. It provides a colourful entertaining afternoon and is a highlight of the Skegness calendar
Each year the Carnival Parade begins at the Wainfleet Road War Memorial Playing Fields, where the difflcult task of judging the entrants takes place. The parade winds its way through the streets, all lined with people, through the town centre and ends at the end of North Parade, at the Seaview carpark.
The whole parade usually takes about one and a half hours to complete.
The Carnival Parade is organised by a dedicated group of volunteers who work tirelessly to make sure this and all of the other events run smoothly and safely. They raise funds all year round and are non-profit making.
This is just the start of a week long list of events that take place in the town.
The 2012 Carnival Festivities will take place from 12th August until 17th of August, and will include fancy dress competitions, pavement artist contests, sand sculpture contests, baby shows, galas, and a pet show and agility event. There is something for everyone.
