Huddersfield Carnival Huddersfield African Caribbean Cultural Trust and Kirklees Council are pleased to announce that the Huddersfield Carnival returns to Greenhead Park on Saturday 11th July 2009. The Park event, this year titled Mas Mania, is regarded by many as the main event of the Huddersfield Carnival. It provides an opportunity for all those who have taken part in and supported the carnival procession through the streets of Huddersfield to celebrate together with friends and family. The participants perform on the main stage and young people demonstrate their talents in their own performance area. There are plenty of food, drink, clothes and other artefacts for sale around the Park. Blessing by the Vicar of Huddersfield, Canon Catherine Ogle at St.Peter's Church. |

New Street will play host to a wide range of continental market stalls, including the very best of French charcuterie, Dutch and French cheeses, German Sausages, a great variety of garlic and vegetables, Italian Leather and a host of other delights to tempt the most discerning purses. Biscuits from Britanny, olives from Europe's sunny south, delicious French honey and jams, and much more. The German beer garden will be open alongside the market on New Street for a well-earned refreshing drink after a hard-day shopping or working! The magnificent Dutch flower garden which offers a huge selection of plants will once again fill the street with a sea of fresh plants perfect for spring planting. The Piazza will be transformed into an international food and drink quarter. Covered by a large marquee, visitors will be able to wine and dine in the very heart of our town centre, enjoying foods from around the world.
