Parishes, charities, organisations, families and groups of friends are invited to enter floats into Guernsey's 2025 Cavalcade.

Organisers say they typically put on an enhanced Cavalcade every five years, to celebrate milestone Liberation Days.

The pandemic in 2020 disrupted the 75th anniversary - so 2025's rendition will be the biggest seen in a decade.

Coordinators are offering grants of £750 to £1,500, to cover expenses to enable everyone to take part.

Cavalcade Floats Co-ordinator, Denise Fawcett, says the costal parade is a highlight of the celebrations: "The creativity and effort that go into the floats and creating bike and pedestrian entries are what make it truly special.

"We're always thrilled to welcome both new and returning participants to showcase their designs and help us create a spectacular event for everyone to enjoy.

"If anyone wants to get involved but doesn’t know where to start, we can help match people up with vehicles and give advice on what does and doesn’t work.

"You’ll be at the heart of the celebrations and, with over 10,000 people expected in St Peter Port, it’s an excellent opportunity to raise awareness for your charity or organisation.”

On 9th May 2025, the Cavalcade will end with static displays of all the vehicles and floats from 4pm, allowing islanders to take a closer look and speak to the owners.

Islanders have until the end of March to register interest at liberationday.gg.
