Thousands of children, parents and teachers will celebrate the natural world at Brighton Festival’s Children’s Parade.

The parade on 2 May will mark the start of the festival – three weeks of arts and culture across Sussex.

The free, family-friendly event will take place in central Brighton for the 30th time this year. The theme for 2020, Nature’s Marvels, will celebrate the wonders of flora and fauna from around the world, as well as reflecting the need to protect and conserve the planet’s natural environment.

Andrew Comben, chief executive of Brighton Festival, said, ‘We’ve seen how passionate children and young people are about protecting the planet and it seemed such an obvious choice that the parade should reflect what’s happening across the world but also to celebrate the biodiversity on our doorstep.’
