Is that time of year when the days are getting longer and the Mercury is rising, which means that it’s almost time for the Preston Caribbean Carnival. And so, ahead of one of the North West’s biggest and longest-running cultural celebrations, we break down everything you need to know ahead of this year’s Preston Caribbean Carnival.
Taking place a couple of weekends prior to the carnival, the crowning of the Carnival King and Queen is a costume competition in which participants showcase their colourful garb in a dazzling display of dance and music to impress the crowds and judges on Preston Flag Market.
Costumes often take months to craft and create, with the most impressive examples seeing their dashing hosts named Carnival King and Queen. And it’s very much a case of dress to impress: previous year's winners include a dramatic cobra and magnificent dragon.When entering Moor Park, there will be a request to the public to make a small donation, but children under 12 go free. The only ticketed event will be The Reggae Festival on Saturday 28th.
