Carnival week is always held in August, in the week which includes the third Wednesday.
So in 2024 it will be held from Saturday 17th August to Friday 24th August, with Carnival Day being held on Wednesday 21st August.
Carnival Day is always the 3rd Wednesday of August - so check your diary for that day, and carnival is the week around it. Carnival week is preceded by the two Children's Weeks.
