🎉 This Year’s Carnival Theme Is…


🌞 CELEBRATING SUMMERTIME! 🌞

Get ready to soak up the sun and bring the heat,
because this year we’re going full-on summer vibes! Whether it’s beach
balls, ice cream, flamingos, festivals, or sunshine smiles — we want to see your brightest, boldest, most summery
ideas burst to life in the procession and across Aldeburgh!

Every year, our Carnival theme is all about fun
and creativity — it’s your chance to dress up, decorate, and make the town shine even brighter. Use it as
inspiration for your costumes, floats, or shop windows… or go your own way entirely! ✨

🎭 Theme
participation is totally optional.

All entrants — themed or not — will be judged equally. So
whether you go tropical, nautical, or totally original, just bring your energy and get ready to celebrate!

Let’s make this the most vibrant,
sunshine-filled Carnival yet! 🌺🌊🍦
