Brighton Festival 2009 Children's Parade

A vibrant array of colours and costumes paraded through the streets for Brighton Festival’s energetic curtain raiser.

The Children’s Parade, organised by Same Sky, brought its unmistakable sense of fun to the centre of Brighton for the 19th successive year.

More than 4,000 participants of all ages from 70 local schools and community groups showed the onlookers all that nature has to offer, with a theme of the four classical elements – earth, air, fire and water.
