The parade went really well and represented many diverse aspects of our society. Well worth a visit next year

Around 80,000 spectators turned up and watched a fantastic parade – all for free too.

There was a fair for the kids too afterwards.

Bands were playing at several locations too - so quite a lot of different activities in the area.

Hopefully see you all there next year........with our Vegan float………. :thumbsup:
