Carnival returned to Harrogate for a day of music, dance, and street theatre

On the 30th July Carnival returned to Harrogate for a parade through the town followed by a day of events in Valley Gardens. With global music and dance stages, global food stalls,  art and craft workshops, street theatre and a Carnival stage, this family-friendly day was a true party in every sense of the word.

Photographer Charlotte Graham was on hand to capture some of the highlights of the day.
