We are currently looking for applications from marching bands, to take part in this year's Cromer Carnival parade, which will take place on Wednesday 15th August 2012.
If you have a band or know one that would be interested in entering the parade, please get in touch via the 'Any Questions?' page of the website.
Welcome to the Cromer Carnival web site.

We're cleared down the stories from last year from the front page now as things are well under way with preparations for Carnival 2012. And it's not just in august that the team will be busy - many are also helping at events earlier in the year.
The Crab and Lobster weekend later in May is follow in early June by the celebrations for the Queen's Jubilee. There's lots on for that extended bank holiday weekend, including a tea party on the pier on the Tuesday afternoon with our children's entertainers Tony and Libby.
There'll be a marquee on the putting green in North Lodge Park for the weekend, with various events from Saturday to Tuesday. The Monday evening sees the torchlight parade up to the coastal beacon on the Lighthouse Cliffs, where Cromer's beacon will be one of those being lit all around the British Isles.
It's been a busy few days with the events which will choose our 'Royal Party' for 2012. Many congratulations to our Carnival Queen Elsie Yiasimi who will take the lead for this year. Many thanks to all those who came along for the evening at the Cliftonville Hotel; it's tremendous to see just how many would like to take on the role each year.
Molly Downes was chosen at the same event to be Senior Attendant for the year.
Next in calendar was the choice of the two Junior Attendants. Once again, many thanks to all who came along to the selection event and we're only sorry that there is an opportunity for all to take part.

But many thanks to Faye and Alice who will take on these roles for 2012. They'll be busy at various events over the coming weeks and of course Carnival Week will be partiuclarly busy for them. There's lots of aspects to the roles they'll undertake but we hope they'll enjoy their Carnival 2012.
Now we always hope for a nice, sunny Sunday afternoon to choose the Prince and Princess at aceremony on the pier forecourt. However, not this year. Maybe if we'd have been choosing an Ice Queen it would have been appropriate!
So many thanks to the management of the Pavilion Theatre for once again helping out by allowing the competition to take place there. And it proved to be quite a competition. 37 young ladies lined up with the hope of being Cromer Carnival Princess for 2012.
Because of the number of entrants and because of this being Jubilee year, the committee decided to make an extra appointment to help out on some special occasions. this would be the selection of a "Little Gem", a contestant from the seven and under age group.
So the judges set to work and with half a dozen young men entering to be Prince, the choices to be made were not easy. However, decisions had to be made and Ellen, Henry and Kelsie will make up the carnival royal team for the year.

There we are then, the full team. Let's hope they all have a great time taking the lead for carnival 2012.
