Worthing Rotary Carnival
Worthing Rotary Clubs join together to present a Carnival for Worthing Residents and their children over the bank holiday weekend.
Worthing Rotary seeks to raise money for as many good local causes as we can afford, i.e. homelessness, care and disability groups, personal strife, youth support and lots more, and the Carnival is one of our main fund-raising events. It's a lot of hard work for dozens of Rotarian volunteers but we do so for the fun and the enjoyment and the atmosphere it creates for the community on the day AND for the financial benefit of the community afterwards !
Our breath-taking Carnival is a two-day event with charity stalls and refreshments galore, all setting-up on August Bank Holiday Sunday in Steyne Gardens. And Monday sees the thirty or so floats processing along the seafront, marching bands, dancers and music, eye-catching local groups showing us their skills that they practise every week, fire engines participate if they are not otherwise engaged, the Town Crier never misses ! A true community entertainment of colour, noise and creativity for the thousands lucky enough to witness it ! The Procession finishes at Steyne Gardens where it joins the hub and hive of activities including Circus Pzazz (seeing is believing !) Dogs Trust exhibitions and an all-afternoon concert of live music by talented local musicians and groups.
We appeal for your support in delivering this much-loved civic entertainment that has become such a highlight in Worthing's calendar since 1922 !
