The Annual Buxton Wells Dressing Festival Carnival Procession is Buxton's largest single event attracting over 20,000 people, who come from far and wide to enjoy the atmosphere that Carnival brings to Buxton.The picture on the left is taken from the 2006 Carnival and shows the float entered by Buxton Woodworks.

Again an image from 2006, the Fire Brigade with their mascot Wellyphant.The Carnival Procession itself follows a route around the town that runs for about 2 miles. The Buxton Carnival Procession is organised by the Buxton Wells Dressing Festival Commitee and there is a link to thier website on the left for anyone who wishes to get in touch for further information. Mellors Funfair will once again be on the Market Place for 2007 rides opening on Wed 11th July.

Carnival day starts with events around town from 11.30 am with the procession itself starting at 2.00pm, this does cause disruption to the road system and some roads in town will be closed to traffic, starting at around 12 noon so get in early to avoid disappointment.The procession is the culmination of a week of events and the next Carnival will be on Saturday 14th July 2007.For further information about road closures click here for Derbyshire Constabulary.
