Each year Edinburgh takes part in the Edinburgh
Festival Cavalcade procession through the streets of the city. The Cavalcade marks the start of the world famous Edinburgh Festival and is watched by many thousands of people from all over the globe.

Although there are prizes for the various categories, most participants take part for fun. This year, Lollipop’s entry was themed Planet
Lollipop, with the motto join our world of fun! The
float depicted a planet with a Lollipop ship landed
on it, with volunteers dressed as aliens and space
creatures. Play activities and drawing competitions
were also tied into the event. It was a great day,
and as usual the sun was shining! We even got a
mention on BBC TV!
