It's time for Hereford’s largest free community event once again. Following the virtual Carnival in 2020, this will be the first full-scale event since 2018 and will see Castle Green, Bishops Meadow, King George V Playing Fields, and all along the riverbank will be bubbling with excitement.

Water is at the heart of this year’s Make Waves theme in a celebration of the river and the sea. There will be more floats, boats, and watery fun than ever with a whole host of surprises in store.

It will launch at dusk on Friday 26th August with a spectacular live performance along and on the river. Saturday is carnival day and will be ‘a day at the seaside’ as we create Hereford-on-Sea. The legendary carnival procession will flood the streets with people and bring everyone to the river to watch the river procession.
Make Waves and bring the seaside to Hereford this August bank holiday.
