Dawlish Celebrates Carnival is registered as a not for profit, Community Interest Company and it’s directors and committee members are all volunteers – none are paid for any of the time they give. We organise and manage the annual, week-long Carnival for all the Dawlish community and surrounding areas. The majority of the events in the week are free to attend and the event provides entertainment and activities for most community groups within the local area. Our programme of events is only funded by sponsorship, donations and grants. This year Carnival week will cost about £50K to put on. We've got some surprises including Rampage Mas attending the parade in 2024!!
We provide an opportunity to showcase the town and the activities of the diverse community. Carnival is always ready to try something new to keep up with the times. As a committee we loan equipment to other local organisations. Dawlish Celebrates Carnival is an integral part of the local community and at the same time we rely on the goodwill of the community to help marshal and practically support our week of fun! Help by contributing making sure we can put on the fun!!
