Sandown is getting ready to stage its first carnival parades for three years.
The town’s 2022 Carnival Queens have been chosen, and a fund has been announced to help people put together entries for the Main Carnival on Saturday 30th July and the Illuminated Carnival on Wednesday 31st August.
Eager carnival participants can find a grant application form via the Website.
Sandown Bay Regatta
This year, the Carnival will also be organising Sandown Bay Regatta which takes place over the weekend of 13th and 14th August.
Paul Coueslant who chairs Sandown Carnival Association says,
“Our summer parades are always exciting occasions for residents and visitors. They’ve been part of the town’s calendar since 1889 and we can’t wait to put them on again after two years of cancellations.
“As always, we rely on financial support from our local community and we’re hugely grateful for the donations we get.”
