Always one to put in your diary this year promises to be no exception with street entertainment, live bands, illuminated floats and a jaw dropping firework display. The whole town comes to life during the evening with a colourful parade of over 100 decorated floats. Followed by musical street entertainment and the day culminates with a unique squibbing display. This practice that is unique to Bridgwater involves the simultaneous firing of lots of fireworks. Creating a blaze of light amazing to behold. More details 01278 421795 www.bridgwatercarnival.org.uk
