Stowmarket Carnival 2025
Stowmarket Carnival is a wonderful family event, providing affordable fun and entertainment for local families. We had a fabulous Carnival 2024 – thanks to all who took part, supported, and attended. Now we are starting to plan for an even better Carnival in 2025!
And just like the last two years, visiting the Carnival will be FREE!
Main events will take place on the town’s Recreation Ground (the Rec) Friday evening to Sunday afternoon, with a host of entertainments, including a range of music, and brand new for 2025 Carnival Bandiokie.
On Saturday there will be a Carnival procession through the town, led by the Carnival Court, with floats, vehicles, walkers, dancers, singers, and fancy dress galore.
This year’s theme is Colourful Carnival! And we are looking forward to seeing amazing costumes as we splash colour all over Stowmarket.

On the Rec there will be music on stage, and acts in the arena, while around the ground there will be craft, home bake, small business, and charity stalls, and plenty of food and drink stalls too.
