Over the festival weekend the whole of the old seaport town of Harwich will ring with the sound of lusty shanties, music emanating from pubs, boats, clubs and many historic buildings. There are street theatre sketches, maritime crafts, barge trips, walks, talks as the town fills up with colour and atmosphere over this special weekend.
Fancy dress costumes will be worn, big heads donned and floats with music filling the evening air and people will be lining the streets.
The carnival will start having assembled on the Main Road at its junction with Ainger Road. The procession will proceed along the Main Road stopping outside Asda for 15 minutes before continuing all the way down to Harwich finishing in West Street.
There is plenty of vantage points to view the procession.
As part of the Harwich Guy Carnival, Essex Pedal Power will be joining the fun with a Glow Ride starting at 6pm outside the front gates of Thomson Cooper.
