    Harrogate Carnival is set to take place on Sunday, July 30.

    The free event will begin with a street parade through the town centre before heading to Valley Gardens.

    The attractions will include a troupe from Leeds West Indian Carnival and a dance stage with belly dancing.

    First staged in 2019, the carnival is commissioned by Destination Harrogate, which is a tourism organisation run by North Yorkshire Council and produced by Harrogate International Festivals.

    The event, which celebrates global diversity, costumes, sounds and flavours, will include music, dance, themed food zones, art and craft workshops and street theatre.

    John McGivern, destination events manager at Destination Harrogate, said:

    “This exciting and unique event is perfectly suited to the Valley Gardens, one of many fantastic event spaces that we’re fortunate to have here in Harrogate.
    “Carnival will also draw visitors from further afield to join in the celebrations with our residents, with opportunity to boost our visitor economy and showcase the town as an amazing visitor destination.”

    The full programme will be announced closer to the date on the Harrogate International Festivals website for more information: https://harrogateinternationalfestivals.com/
