About this Activity
The famous Weston-super-Mare illuminated carnival features around 100 entries, including 50 large illuminated floats up to 100 feet long. The procession starts near Locking Road car park and Tesco roundabout, passing along Regent Street, Alexandra Parade, Boulevard, Waterloo Street, Royal Parade, Beach Road, and Carlton Street.
❤️ Why Parents Love It
Children are captivated by the dazzling, multi-coloured lights and giant moving carnival carts, making it a truly magical winter evening tradition.
💡 Good to Know
