The Children's Parade is a unique Brighton event produced by Same Sky for the Brighton Festival
For over 25 years the Children’s Parade has opened the Brighton Festival, with 5,000 local schoolchildren stepping into showstopping costumes they have designed and made themselves. Almost 80 local schools, infant to secondary, take part and enjoy a real sense of pride as their hard work turns into a vibrant procession of dance, drama and fun for the whole city to watch. Around 10,000 people come along to see the parade and be part of the largest annual children’s event in the UK.

This year's parade was brilliant and we were humbled by the wealth of ideas and creativity from our young people and their teachers, families and our Artists. We know that things are tough at the moment for all of us as we face the great challenges of our time, so the theme of One World was a perfect fit as it helps us remember that we are always stronger together. These wonderful creative young folk will be the stewards of the future and we must listen to their voices and creativity and help them make a more harmonious world for their children!
