Stalybridge Carnival is on Sunday 22nd June, 2008 The Carnival website has lots more information and images from past carnivals, including images from the French Carnival parades.
The Stalybridge Festival was born in the nineteen seventies with the first carnival parade taking place in 1976. The idea of a Festival arose from meetings of the local Youth and Community Group, where complaints that "nothing ever happens in Stalybridge" were voiced. Following notices published in the local Stalybridge Reporter, asking for people interested in coming forward to get involved, a committee was formed, and the Stalybridge Festival was started.
Twenty eight years on the Stalybridge Festival Committee continues to provide their annual Carnival for the people of Stalybridge and surrounding towns. David Hobson is the organizing Secretary of the Stalybridge Festival Committee - who run the annual Carnival in the town. He has asked for local help. 'We are desperately in need of more bodies to become involved in helping to run our annual carnival, parade marshals, collectors, event organizers etc etc. Parade entry forms and Trade Stand application forms are now available.
