Newbury Spring Festival Parade
Newbury Spring Festival Parade
Sat 9 May 2026
4.30 - 5.30pm
Newbury Town Centre
Come and celebrate the opening of the 2026 Festival and watch the Festival Parade as it moves through Newbury Town Centre!
Follow the giant Bandmaster Puppet as she makes her way through the streets in a celebration of the diversity of music and its power to bring people together. The parade involves over 50 local musicians and performers, including dance troupes, drummers, cellists, saxophone players, a ukulele orchestra and a silver band who will line the streets awaiting to be conducted by the giant.
Working in partnership with Corn Exchange Newbury and 101 Outdoor Arts, this promises to be a vibrant celebration to mark the opening of the Newbury Spring Festival.
Please note: The procession will start at Newbury Clock Tower to the Market Place.
