City Council Announces 75th Annual Gloucester Carnival
Written by adminChris on June 17, 2011
Gloucester’s traditional Carnival Procession is back and the City Council is planning to make this anniversary year’s event better than ever.
The historic procession, which takes place on Saturday 23rd July, has been a part of the City summer calendar for the past 75 years, and organisers are hoping that more people than ever will choose to get involved this time around, and help to make the event a memorable celebration for everyone in Gloucester. Paul James, leader of the City Council said: ‘The Carnival is a real Gloucester tradition. It brings life and colour to the city’s streets and brings our communities together. This year is the 75th anniversary, so we want to make it as big and bright as we can. I hope as many people as possible will take part.’
