Organised by Falmouth Marine Band Cornwall in partnership with Falmouth Town Council, the Falmouth Week Carnival is one of the festival's most popular and colourful events.

The celebrations begin at Falmouth Rugby Club (TR11 2FB), where participants gather before the procession sets off through the town. The parade route takes in Killigrew Street, The Moor, Webber Street, Market Street, Church Street and Arwenack Street, before finishing at Events Square.

The Carnival not only brings the community together but also supports local causes, with all funds raised donated to community groups and charities nominated by the entrants.
