The Castletown Confetti Carnival has proved a huge success once more despite the dull weather.

Taking place in the town’s Market Square, the carnival included free bingo, a treasure hunt, face painting, market stalls, bouncy castles and live music.

Local musicians performed which ended with tribute act to the famous artist Pink, called ‘Almost Pink’.

There was also a ‘bonny baby’ competition in the town’s Methodist Hall while the festival queen and princess were crowned in the Market Square.

The traditional fancy dress parade travelled through Bridge Street towards the square, with this year’s fancy dress theme being ‘nursery rhymes’.
