Illuminated Carnival
Our illuminated carnival is our evening parade through the town, starting from Sandown Library, the parade loops around the town and finishes back at the library.
Featuring bands, costumes, school groups, vehicles, fancy dress and floats from around the Island, our illuminated carnival parade has something for everyone - all of which have an illuminated twist!
The best viewpoints include: Beachfield Road, Royal Crescent, Melville Street, Fitzroy Street, Station Avenue and Albert Road.
Our next Illuminated Carnival will be on Wednesday 26th August 2026, starting at 8.30pm
