A long evening procession of illuminated carnival carts, built by local carnival clubs, winds through the town. It ends with squibbing, when around 150 squibbers lined up along the High Street hold large fireworks aloft on poles and light them all at once. Watching from the street is free; grandstand seats are sold.
