Woodstock Carnival
Venue: Woodstock Town Centre
Tickets: Free admission
4.30pm - 10pm
This years topical theme is “Woodstock’s Wacky Olympics” which allows a chance to get into the Olympic spirit early, with a difference! Participants will invent their own sport for the parade and stalls, so plenty of chance for wild imaginations. Starting at 4.30pm there is, of course, an opening ceremony with our very own torch. Stalls, entertainment and food are all available and at 6pm the parade starts, with live music in the Town Square through to 10pm. The Carnival always is a fun occasion and gives people a chance to visit Woodstock before the opening.
