THE
street parade is a popular visual feast which officially launches
the event. A large crowd eagerly lines the main street to watch the
long line of creative floats, motorised vehicles, brass and pipe
bands.
 Once the
parade concludes, crowds flock to the entrance gates and the
festival comes alive.
Inside
the main arena, visitors are tempted to a wide variety of
food stalls offering everything from hot chips to gourmet
seafood followed by fresh strawberries and
pancakes.
Tables
and chairs throughout the festival area provide visitors with the
opportunity to sit and eat while they watch some of the
activities.
More than
100 market stalls display and sell a wide range of clothing,
jewellery, pottery, paintings, hats, bags, toys and much, much
more.
