Otley’s annual Carnival is a celebration of the local community - families, schools, businesses and
local organisations - all coming together for an extravaganza of family friendly fun!

 

Carnival day is typically the third Saturday in June, and starts at 12.30pm with a parade of decorated
walking and driven floats travelling through the centre of Otley.

 

The parade then joins the Carnival Field which is free to attend and filled with rides, stalls, food,

entertainment, music and much, much more…

 

Otley Carnival was established in 1982 and is one of the town’s largest events,
attracting thousands of visitors each year. 

 

It is a volunteer-run, not-for-profit event and aims to raise money to support local causes and charities.

​

The Carnival Committee work throughout the year to plan and organise a fantastic day for the whole family and would love to welcome new members to help run the event. If you are interested in helping organise the Carnival we'd love to hear from you - get in touch today.
