The carnival will take place on Saturday 24 September from 7.30pm.

Road closures

From 4pm to 10pm the following road will be closed to all traffic other than float traffic:

• All Saints Road,

Once all the floats are back at the holding area, the roads will reportedly "be reopened as quickly as possible."
