The successful Walking With Giants parade returns this year, with a vibrant street parade including stilt walkers, dance and live music, along with the festival’s incredible giant puppets and sculptures. In connection with this year’s commemoration of the centenary of the First World War, the parade will also include a life-size bicycle-powered wooden WWI tank.

The procession will start at the Hub at 1.30, before heading up Midsummer Boulevard towards a finish in Campbell Park. Refreshments will be available along with an arts and crafts market in Campbell Park.

There are opportunities for individuals and businesses to get involved in making the giant puppets. For more information, please see the Festive Road Facebook page or the event website.
