About Bridgwater Guy Fawkes Carnival
The Bridgwater Carnival is the UK's oldest and one of Europe's largest illuminated procession events, held annually on the first Saturday in November in Bridgwater, Somerset, to commemorate the Guy Fawkes Plot of 1605. It features massive, elaborate carts with thousands of lights, marching bands, costumed performers, music, dance, and culminates in a spectacular firework display known as squibbing, attracting huge crowds. It's the first event in the Somerset County Carnival Circuit.
