An explosion of colour, music and fun for all the family, The Umbrella Parade is a firm Hastings Fat Tuesday favourite, and all you need to take part is a decorated umbrella. The parade will start at the Stade and travel along the seafront to St Mary in the Castle where the party continues all afternoon.
Preservation Sunday at St Mary in the Castle brings festival-goers together to enjoy food and drink and great music, as the rivalry of the second line brass bands comes to a head in a dramatic play-off. Featuring the irrepressible Savage 2nd Line Band, Mr Wilson’s Second Liners, Dende and more.
With dancers and musicians galore, join in the fun:
