Recipient Org: Description Bridgwater Guy Fawkes Carnival (BGFC) Ltd organise one of the world's largest illuminated parades, and its origins date back to The Gunpowder Plot in 1605. Held annually in Bridgwater on the first Saturday of every November, the evening carnival has over 2000 performers of all ages, and attracts many thousands of spectators from throughout the county. As well as the carnival procession, BGFC also organises the carnival concerts which takes place for two weeks in October, and a grand public firework display on the evening before the procession. We also have a very successful schools engagement programme where we encourage young people to get involved with our carnival, which will hopefully ensure the carnival tradition in Bridgwater continues for future generations to enjoy.
