Thornbury Carnival 2024 - The Main Event
Mundy Playing Fields
Thornbury Carnival will again include two separate events – Thornbury Carnival Presents ‘Swing in the Park’ on the evening of Friday 5th July and Thornbury Carnival ‘The Main Event’ on Saturday 6th July.
The ‘Main Event’ on the Saturday will have a fun family festival vibe with the main stage featuring a range of professional tribute acts and amateur performers.
Elly McDonald, Director of Northavon Academy of Performing Arts, is continuing in her role as the event’s Community Acts Co-ordinator and is recruiting local talent to take part.
Elly said: “There will be live entertainment on stage throughout the day starting at midday with a Variety Show and a Battle of the Bands finale. We’re searching for talented local acts so whether you’re a solo act, a duo, a band, or a whole gang of performers, if you’re singers, dancers, actors, magicians, poets, comedians, gymnasts, or DJs we want to hear from you!”
As well as the on-stage entertainment, the Saturday event will include a Show‘n’Shine featuring a range of vintage and sports vehicles, stalls, a fully licensed bar, and local food concessions. Liam also explained that the KidZone has been the focus of much discussion at committee meetings.
Liam said, “We’ve improved our children’s entertainment offer this year and are delighted we’ll be having a big top with circus skills alongside the other family favourites like face painting included within the ticket price!”
