Carnival
With 20 floats and
approximately 350 people joining the procession, the Brixham
Carnival left the harbour and succeeded to parade around the

the festive fun on Saturday December 4th. Fortunately just
after 4.30 pm the rain stopped and the Carnival got underway!

Cowtown
Carnival 2010
The later start to
this year's Cow Town Carnival was attributed to the late arrival
of the Okehampton Town Band, but it was worth the wait as the
long procession made its way into town along Bolton St, starting
with the traditional exchange of fish and vegetables at Rea
Barn Hill traffic lights.
