Canalway Cavalcade

The pretty waterways of Little Venice will be even more colourful than usual for the May bank holiday weekend as the Inland Waterways Association organises their annual gathering of canal boats. Over 100 boats will be moored along the stretch of the Grand Union Canal between Blomfield Road, Warwick Avenue and Warwick Crescent for the Canalway Cavalcade, which has taken place every year since 1983. Many of the waterborne homes will be dressed up to the nines ready for the pageant, and visitors can expect plenty of very British fun including morris dancers and a real ale tent. There'll also be trade stalls, live music, children's activities and snacks and street food.
