Six Towns Carnival

Sunday 14th July 2024, Hanley Park

Six Towns Carnival is an annual free celebration of Afro-Caribbean music, carnival and food, and our heritage within the city of Stoke on Trent. With a focus on providing opportunities for young people and education, we aim to bring joy to the community.

Six Towns Carnival has a proud history of nearly 30 years. Taking place in Hanley Park, it is one of the largest free events in Stoke-on-Trent, drawing attendance of up to 6,500 people of all ages and backgrounds.

Six Towns Carnival returned after the COVID pandemic with a new volunteer team working alongside the existing team to continue it’s legacy as Six Towns Carnival Reloaded.

SABLE partners with Kwanzaa Collective UK and Urban Wilderness CIC to produce this annual event. In 2023 the event attracted funding from Arts Council England.
