In previous years, villagers have lined the streets to celebrate the event and watch the procession, including floats featuring much-loved characters. Floats lined Windsor Street before making their way around the village.

The Burbage Carnival and Fireworks Festival Facebook page has confirmed the date for this summer’s event this summer in February, and organizers were keen to hear suggestions as to what should be on the floats this year.
