“Participants have put in an awful lot of time and energy and have pulled out all the stops in terms of creativity, colour and vibrancy to create pageants and parades that are a joy to watch.

“We hope that this year will be even bigger and better and we are keen to facilitate as many groups as possible to take part,” she concluded.

North West Carnival Initiative and Derry City Council offer a range of support to interested groups.

The central objective in all activity is to promote shared celebration by encouraging participation in quality, carnival based activity that is inclusive to all communities within the North West area.
