2024 will be the 50th Caribbean Carnival in Preston and is planned to be bigger and better than before including a vibrant, colourful procession through the city!

Founded in 1974 by local Prestonians with origins in St Vincent and the Grenadines, Dominica and other Caribbean islands, Preston Carnival gained momentum as an annual event from participants in the 1972 Preston Guild Community procession with a desire to create an annual cultural celebration featuring both a processional and park based cultural event for both Preston residents and for visitors to the city.
