The theme is Unity In Masquerade – Many Stories, One Parade, which invites you all to step into a world where every mask tells a story and every step brings us closer together.
This all takes place at The Racecourse, Kettering Road, Northampton, NN1 4LG from noon, on Saturday June 13, with a host of entertainment and activities on site including mouth-watering dishes from around the world, an exhilarating fun-fair, ethnic arts and crafts, plus various incredible charities, and information stalls for you to browse.
Join us for a spectacular day of diverse cultures, creative expressions, and unforgettable moments. Be part of the story—Unity In Masquerade, which gives us the opportunity to celebrate the power of union through the art of community and live music.
Come, don your finest mask, and join the parade as it bursts out of the park at 2pm, down Kettering Road, winds through the heart of Northampton town centre, returning triumphantly via Wellingborough Road back to the park around 4.30pm. Be part of something extraordinary!
Meanwhile, the park will be buzzing from midday as the main stage will be showcasing a whole host of local talent for you to soak up, crowned by a well sort after headline act to close the event 6.45 – 7.30pm. The full line-up will be confirmed shortly.
Do not miss the event of the summer – where your story becomes part of our parade!
