* ILMINSTER CArnival 2021 statement *

ICC have made the decision after consulting with the carnival clubs that we will be holding Carnival week events between 26th Sept - 2nd Oct 2021, but no procession.

We have not taken this decision lightly but with no major fundraising events for the clubs or committees and the clubs not being able to build to their usual standards we will not be holding a procession. Instead we will concentrate on a week of carnival events dependent on Covid restrictions at the time.

We look forward to seeing everyone for our 100th year celebrations in 2022 when we will hopefully resume our main procession.

Ilminster Carnival is part of the South Somerset Federation of Carnivals which also consists of Wellington, Chard and Taunton. The streets of Ilminster will be an exciting blaze of colour as the Ilminster Carnival takes place. The procession of illuminated floats is part of an ancient tradition. The floats can be up to 100 feet long and covered in thousands of light bulbs. Many of the larger entries come from Ilminster, including Harlequin, Gemini, Xtreme and One Plus One, reflecting how important carnival still is to the local community. These magnificent entries consisting of Floats, Majorettes, Walkers and Dance Troupes are the result of many months of hard work by the clubs. We hope to raise as much money as possible to go back into the town of Ilminster and to ensure the carnival continues for years to come.
