Children's Parade
Same Sky & Brighton Festival
Sat 2 May 2026
Read all about it! A theme inspired by 2026 as the National Year of Reading, the Children’s Parade imagines all sorts of children’s books in a joyous, loud and memorable procession through the streets of Brighton.
This year also marks the 40th Children’s Parade and 40 years of partnership between Same Sky and Brighton Festival. With a different imaginative theme each year, Same Sky’s team of dedicated artists have worked with over 150,000 students, teachers and group leaders to develop their parade displays, creating a unique Brighton event and the largest of its kind in Europe.
From fiction to fantasy and traditional stories to graphic books, join us in a fiesta of colour, costume and live music to kick start Brighton Festival 2026.
