Children’s Carnival

The Children’s Carnival is our late morning parade starting from Sandown Pier, moving along the seafront and finishing at Sandham Gardens. And there’s day of FREE entertainment after we arrive at the Gardens!

The procession will be led by the Sandown Carnival float, taking the route shown below. Judging of entries will take place at Sandham Gardens where awards will be made.

Our next Children’s Carnival will be in July 2026! Check back for details closer to the event.
