The event will begin with a parade at 11.30am on Saturday morning, led by samba band Bloco Winnoch in front of a procession of floats, through the town to Coronation Park for the festival to start at 12noon.

The park itself will have many of the attractions enjoyed every year at the Comet Festival including an entertainment zone with lots of culture, heritage and art to enjoy, traders, community group marquees, a funfair, tea tent, bar and beer garden, live music stage, boat trips, guided walking tours and more.
