The sun was shining for this year’s Aberaeron Carnival as thousands of people flocked to the seaside town on Monday.

The carnival parade made its way through the streets, led for the 57th year by the Adamant Jazz Band.

This year’s big winner was Aeron Coast Caravan Park who flew away with the prize for the best float with their Aladdin and the Magic Carpet theme.
