Shaldon Water Carnival
SHALDON enjoys a unique summer Water Carnival for residents and visitors, held on the first Saturday in August each year. A fun-filled, family day of events that is now in its 57th year. The carnival offers the
excitement and colour of a carnival plus fun on the water in the form of outstanding carnival floats made locally and teamed by groups of local residents. The colour and diversity of the dressed boats creates a wonderful view on the water, and huge efforts and amounts of time are volunteered to get craft seaworthy and looking their best, making it a real ‘community’ event. Water Carnival Day, which is
opened by the Royal Party, also includes a fancy dress parade through the village, traditional seaside activities include a sand- sculpture competition, beach games, crab collecting on the
family entertainment for the village, the committee also makes donations to various local groups and organisations in Shaldon and the surrounding area. These donations can be made
towards sport, arts, local care groups and educational activities in Shaldon and the surrounding area. Shaldon Water Carnival is a
Clipper Quay and a children’s magic show, craft stalls and much, much more. The evening sees events move
to the village green for a children’s disco followed by a barbecue with live music and dancing ’til late. Water Carnival Day is funded
through three other village events that are also organised by the Water Carnival Committee and through local sponsorship. As well as organising this great
not-for-profit organisation run by a team of hardworking committee members and volunteers who live in or near the village of Shaldon. The carnival relies on volunteers, sponsorship and advertising and bucket collections to cover the cost of putting on all of the events. For anyone wishing to give
their time or would like more information on sponsoring events, visit the Get Involved page on
