The Carnival parade is a tradition in many towns such as Melksham. Starting at the car park of Cooper Avon Tires, it followed up Bath Road and the High Street to the Market Place, where it took a left up Spa Road. Right into Warwick Crescent very close to Well House Manor, then via Kennilworth Road, Waverly Gardens and the Semington Road back to the Market Place, from where it followed the same route back to the car park.
