Musical entertainment is to be provided after Douglas Carnival’s floats have finished entertaining the crowds.
The ‘after party’ will take place at the Bottleneck car park at the end of Loch Promenade.
Bushy’s will run the bar and there will be a beer garden created by the council’s parks team.
The carnival is from 7pm but before then there’ll be live music throughout the afternoon from Soundcheck ahead of the main event and after party which will feature an acoustic set from 3 Million, Looney and the Vikings, who wowed the crowds long into the night last year, and Buncha Skankers headlining and closing the show.
Town centre manager Michelle O’Malley said: ‘We said this year’s carnival would be bigger and better and it certainly will be.
‘The after party will make sure that this is a carnival that just keeps on giving. We’ve had a fantastic response with businesses, community groups and charities really keen to be part of what will be the event of the year, not just for Douglas but for the whole island.’
The carnival will take place on Saturday, July 18.
Entries and sponsorship opportunities are still welcomed.
