Wrexham Street Carnival This Weekend & World Peace Day

A samba style parade will head through town from midday on Saturday starting at the Oriel Wrexham.

Wrexham is promised incredible costumes and beats and wonder at the kick-ass brass tidal wave that is Wonderbrass. We have been told to “come with cameras at the ready for a visual and oracular feast”. Head to Queen’s Square for a magical afternoon of Soul, Funk, Ska, Latin, and Jazz
