For the first time, the Carnivale of Colours will be journeying beyond the Park. Local and International characters will be venturing through Ebrington Square, across the Peace Bridge and into Guildhall Square to entertain the masses. See if you can spot them across the City and follow them if you dare!

With a heady mix of buffoonery and circus skills, The Serious Road Trip will take you on a journey not to be missed. With three shows which are coming to Northern Ireland for the first time, this group of clowns will have you on the edge of your seat and wanting to join

the ride. From Romania to Albania they have travelled the world bringing joy and laughter to everyone they meet and guess what? They are returning to The Carnivale of Colours to do just that. Are you ready for a rib tickling?

They are back! Following last year’s visit they have returned... and we are so excited! They’re on the road to nowhere... But they promise to be back for teatime! When Doris, Mary and Marge arrive on their pimped-up shopping trolleys with their pumping tunes, everyone takes notice.
