Ventnor Carnival dates its tradition back to 1889, making it the second oldest in the country. On 10 September of that year a torchlight procession was followed by a vast procession embracing numerous tableaux, cars and three bands of music following a route through the town to the Park.
As its organisers declare: At a time when most seaside towns are shutting up shop, Ventnor launches into the V-Bay Festival – four days of music, the arts, fine dining and family fun activities ... and food all around the town, on the esplanade, on the beach and even on the water.Terms & Conditions | Sitemap | Links |
