Carnivals are exciting, colourful, and full of energy — but with large crowds and moving vehicles, safety is key. To ensure everyone has a fun and safe experience at Wells City Carnival, please follow these important guidelines:

​

🚫 Restricted Areas

• Assembly, rest, and dispersal zones are for participants only — they are not spectator areas and can be hazardous. Performances do not take place in these zones.

​​

👣 Where to Watch

• Please enjoy the Carnival from the pavement or behind the safety barriers.

• For your safety, do not sit on the edge of the pavement with feet in the road.

• Avoid walking in front of, behind, or alongside the moving entries — especially at the end of the parade.

• Never run into the road, cross between floats, or enter the path of moving vehicles to collect coins.

​​

🙏 Respecting Participants & Safety Teams

• Do not interfere with or obstruct any floats, performers, or their support crew.

• Only throw coins into official collection carts, not at floats or performers.

• Listen to and respect instructions from marshals, judges, and emergency services — especially in urgent situations.

​​

🔊 Noise Warning

• Carnival entries can be very loud, especially in built-up areas. We recommend bringing ear protection, particularly for young children.
