Aldeburgh carnival happens every 3rd Monday in August.
Next one is: Monday 17th August 2009
there's a carnival procession during the day, lantern procession and fireworks in the evening.
so why not visit on carnival day when the whole town works together to provide a variety of entertaining events, the highlight being an exciting procession of decorated floats and characters. The evening lantern procession, everyone joining in, makes its way slowly to the beach for the firework display - the finale of the day's entertainment.
The Crowning of the of the carnival Queen takes place out side the Moot hall,followed by the military band leading the carnival floats south down the High Street as far as the fun fair then about turn and back up the high street North back to the Moot hall.
Monday at 11am lifeboat Launches.
The all weather and inshore life-boats launched and carried out training exercises in conjunction with the Air Sea rescue helicopter.
It was a view that im sure everyone enjoyed.this normally takes place near to the lifeboat station. On Carnival day there is no point trying to park in the Town,you wont be able to.
