Our annual festival parade is a cherished tradition for those who have grown up, live in and work in Pimlico and SW1. Giving our children the opportunity to get creative, reach into their imaginations and show off their talents whilst celebrating the amazing community they are growing up in.
This year’s parade theme is Heros and Heroines. We want to inspire those growing up in SW1 to become the Heroines and Hero’s within their own communities, to be proud and celebrate their own inner heroes in full festival style with their super-special costumes!
The parade opens our community Festival Day on the 18th of June. The children and the Parade groups will dance through St.Georges Square with a Carnival Finale Performance on the main stage, bringing colour, happiness and celebration to everyone around.
We need your help to make this amazing community parade happen, please give generously and why not come and take part in the Parade too!
