Carnival time in Looe

This week sees the start of the school holidays around the country and already Looe is getting busy although the weather has not been very kind. Sunday 24th July is the start of the annual Looe Carnival and here is a list of events happening in and around the town.

Sunday 24th July: At West Waylands, an all day boot sale incorporating a Vintage and Classic transport parade and a Countryside Hawking Birds of Prey display.

Monday 25th July: Carnival Royalty choosing followed by the Traditional Floral Dance at 7.30 in the evening starting on West Looe Square.

Tuesday 26th July: Adults and children's Fun Run from West Looe Quay through the woods.

Wednesday 27th July: Children's Sand Modelling Competition on East Looe beach.

Thursday 28th July: Polperro Fisherman's Choir in Concert at the Lifeboat Station in the evening.

Friday 29th July: A day of Traditional Beach Entertainment on East Looe Beach for children.

Saturday 30th July: The Grand Carnival Procession to take place. Judging at 6pm prompt at Marine Drive Hannafore with the parade leaving at 7pm heading for East Looe.

Unfortunately I wasn't in Looe for the raft race a couple weeks ago but I understand Looe was absolutely packed so if you were in the town that day then you will know how much effort was put into making it a great day for spectators and I am sure that everyone involved in the Carnival week will be just as enthusiastic ( I just peeped at the forecast for next week and it looks good!). So do come down and take part or just enjoy it.
