Parade & Main Carnival Day: Saturday 11 July 2026
Sneinton
Sneinton Community Festival prepares for it's 43rd year - A week long community and volunteer-led festival celebrating inclusion, diversity, creativity, heritage and joy!
This year, celebrate the element of water - the Trent, the Beck, Colwick Lakes, the Canal, and all the ponds of Sneinton, as well as the creatures that live in them, and the people work and play in them. Water is essential!
The festival week starts with the ever popular International Food Evening at St Christopher's Church Hall and is followed by a bake off at StoneBridge City Farm, local history walks and talks, retro gaming and other events and activities in all the community centres and spaces of Sneinton.
This culminates in the main festival day on Saturday 11th July with a parade through the streets of Sneinton - like a river of creativity - all the way to Trickett's Park for the main carnival day.
What better way to end the festival than a relaxed Sunday at Green's Mill watching acoustic performances and Nottingham Shakespeare company perform, or try out dragon boat racing on the Trent. On parade day, everyone is encouraged to be creative and wear outfits and costumes with a water theme.
Featuring: Dako Flying Angels, Herds, Ebony Reels, Dane Law Vikings, Nottingham Kung Fu & Lion Dancers, Nottingham Samba Collective and so many more artists, groups and surprises.
Sneinton Festival - an inner city village fete - as curious and eccentric as the people who live there!
