Spectators came out in their thousands at this year’s Carnival, making it another successful and memorable family day for the community. The Carnival was hosted by Milford Haven Round Table and received welcomed funding from South Hook LNG, along with Milford Haven Town Council and a number of local businesses.
Crowds of delighted onlookers lined the streets at one of the town’s most loved events. The colourful and lively procession, featuring X-Factor's Reggie 'n' Bollie, received an enthusiastic reception from everyone along the route, applauding the array of floats, dancers and the parade of walkers decked out in colourful costumes. Music contributed to the festive atmosphere, courtesy of Milford Haven Town Band and guest musicians from a Bhangra band from the West Midlands.
