Newbury Spring Festival Parade
Newbury Spring Festival Parade

4.30 - 5.30pm
Newbury Town Centre
We celebrated the opening of the 2026 Festival at the Festival Parade in Newbury Town Centre!
Our giant Bandmaster Puppet made her way through the streets of Newbury in a celebration of the diversity of music and its power to bring people together. The parade involved over 50 local musicians and performers, including dance troupes, drummers, cellists, saxophone players, and a ukulele orchestra who lined 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.
