Share
Transforming the streets of Bath with a large Carnival procession, free combined arts and music festival and participatory workshops.

Bath Carnival promises an unforgettable day of colour, creativity, and community spirit as it returns to Sydney Gardens. This free family festival will bring together an eclectic mix of entertainment for all ages, featuring two stages of live music, a Super Pirates children's play area, independent food and drink, and a vibrant array of walkabout acts, puppetry, dance performances, and face painting.
The highlight of the event—the carnival procession—will see over 1,000 performers take to the streets, showcasing local residents alongside professional carnival artists. Spectators can expect a mesmerising display of samba bands, Rio-style dancers, stilt walkers, and spectacular costumes, creating an atmosphere like no other.
As the sun sets, the celebrations will continue at the official after-party at Komedia, where Bacana Funk will take over with an infectious mix of global grooves, keeping the party alive late into the night.
Bath Carnival is a spectacular celebration of music, dance, and festival magic.
