Get ready for a vibrant celebration of culture, music and movement – Carnival of the World returns to Reading, Berkshire on Saturday 15 August with a live stage, dynamic performers, a parade with dazzling carnival costumes and a Caribbean bar so you can get a taste of carnival whilst enjoying a brilliant show.
From 12:00pm to 5:30pm, Reading’s Broad Street will be transformed into a kaleidoscope of colour, rhythm and international flair, with a spectacular high street parade, live performances and larger-than-life visual displays.
This year’s main stage features a rich lineup of local and international artists. Opening and closing the stage is the home grown award-winning 25-piece steel band Reading All Steel Percussion Orchestra (RASPO). The Jazzrobeat Collective made up of young talented musicians age 12-18 years will also perform alongside an eclectic range of special guest artistes.
