The carnival parade begins with floats, a marching band, a girls’ dance troupe, people in fancy dress collecting money for charity and the Rose Queens in a convertible car. At the show ground we see the Rose Queen coronation ceremony, a children's fancy dress competition and a parade of floats pulled by tractors.
