SHEPTON MALLET ILLUMINATED CARNIVAL
Annual event held in mid November. Imagine an enormous carnival float lit up brighter than a fun fair. Now imagine a 100 of these in a convoy. Now fill them with dancers, music and people in fancy dress. Now fill the streets with tens of thousands of revelers. These are the Somerset Illuminated Carnivals. Organized by the Somerset Carnival Ring. Many floats are 100 ft long, each illuminated by up to 30,000 light bulbs. Parades usually start between about 19:00 and 19:30, and last late into the evening. Pictures taken Wednesday 12 Nov, 2008 at Shepton Mallet.
