Dawlish Celebrates Carnival 2026

THE COUNTDOWN IS ON

For over 50 years, Dawlish Celebrates Carnival has brought our community together for a week of fun, entertainment and celebration. 

Join us this August for live music, family activities, competitions, community events and our spectacular Carnival Parade. Whether you’re visiting for the first time or returning for another year, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. 

Our carnival is made possible by the incredible support of our volunteers, sponsors, local businesses and community. We hope you’ll join us in celebrating everything that makes Dawlish such a special place. 

We hope you’ll join us, enjoy everything Carnival Week has to offer and help us continue this wonderful tradition for many years to come.
