Bude Carnival is a great community endeavour it helps local charities, raising money and awareness of local community projects. 

There has been a Bude Carnival every year since though it is now held on the third Saturday of August. Money collected on the day, after expenses, is donated to local charities and organisations. 

Judging starts at 5.30 and the procession leaves at 6.30. During the procession traffic restrictions will operate around the town 

You can take part in the carnival by completing an Entry Form, or come along and cheer the participants on the carnival route.
