Join the Parade!

Barnaby Parade 19 June

The key event kicking off the Saturday morning of the Macclesfield Barnaby Festival weekend is the Costume Parade which will thread through the town, starting at 11.00 on the morning of Saturday 19^thJune. Starting and finishing in central Macclesfield the Parade will wind its way through the streets to give schools, businesses, clubs and community groups of all ages, from all round the town, the chance to showcase their unusual talents, their musical skills and their creative genius. There will be a visually alluring, audibly noticeable, on-foot, costumed procession, with the theme ‘Made in Macc’, interpreted in a multitude of eye-catching ways!

Perhaps you can create something large and splendid to carry in your group and coule leave it in the Barnaby Sculpture Garden for the weekend ( will be taken in at night).

If you are a group, large or small who would like to be part of this spectacle, we would love to hear from you. Clubs and Societies, adults and children, pubs and bars, shops and cafes - there is a pool of talent out there in Macclesfield, this is your chance to show the town what you can do.Lose your inhibitions and make your mark!

You can find a Parade brief on the Barnaby website and facebook pages - if you want to sign up to take part, or have further questions, please contact Louise Lewis on barnabyparade@me.com.
