Douglas Carnival to make return this Saturday

Wed, 20 Jul 2022

Douglas Carnival will return this weekend after a three-year absence.

Douglas Carnival is back on Saturday and, as well as a sea of colour and sound, organisers are promising entertainment for all ages, headed up by a 10-piece samba band and acclaimed UK Bee Gees tribute act.

A fusion of Caribbean calypso and rhythmic revelry will be brought to the party by Katumba as the visiting Samba band and Samba Livre dancers lead the parade from the Bottleneck Car Park to Harris Promenade.

The fun starts at 1pm with free children’s rides and an African and Caribbean Cultural Garden, at 2.30pm the circus skills workshop will open in the Marine Gardens, followed by the UK Bee Gees at 3pm before the procession sets off at 4pm from the Bottleneck to the new cultural area on Harris Promenade.
