Town Carnival
20th to 27th JULY 2013
In 2012 the week long event was organised
in its entirety by the Executive Officer with assistance from Andrew Pouteaux and the weeks events could not have run successfully
without the assistance of additional volunteers. It commenced on the 21st July with an 11am parade throughout the Town
following which there was entertainment at the various performance areas in St Peter Port.This event ran until the
28th July and was funded by sponsorship and donations from Town Businesses, the public, The Arts Commision and sponsors
whom wish to remain anonymous.
The entertainment was provided by both Local
and UK artists and appealed to all ages with Singers, various musicians, Punch and Judy and Clowns. The event had a budget
of £42,000 which was raised by the Town Centre Partnership though sponsorship of acts and donations. The performers
entertained the crowds at a number of venues.A programme of all performances was produced in leaflet form and distributed
at a number of venues.
