Festivities will then commence around town from 1.00pm with free face painting, balloon modelling and music. Buskers are also welcome to come along on the day. The prize giving for the Children’s Art Competition will take place at 1.30pm in the Tourist Office before the Street Parade, which will start at 3.00pm from the New Road car park.

The Parade will weave its way along The Glen, Pearse Street, Barry’s Place and the Pier Road to the reviewing stand near the Pier Head. It promises to be a spectacular sight as we welcome 90 Firefighters and Policeman from Newport, Rhode Island, marching in the Parade.
