The organisers of Musselburgh Festival work hard to ensure that everyone can enjoy the Fancy Dress Parade and we take very seriously our role in ensuring that it will be enjoyed for years to come. As such, we request that costumes and make up worn by participants is respectful to all.

 

The Parade will move off from Pinkie Road at 19:00 and will head down Newbigging turning left onto Musselburgh High Street. After crossing the car bridge, the Parade will proceed along Bridge Street and North High Street before turning right down Harbour Road onto New Street towards Fisherrow Links where it will disperse. We ask that all those dismantling floats at Fisherrow Links, ensure that they dispose of their rubbish safely and respectfully.
