Colour Rush
Saturday 19th August 2023
In 2023 the fun run took place on Saturday 19th August to mark the start of Carnival Fortnight, which led up to the parade on 2nd September. Over 400 people walked, jogged or ran in this family-friendly event promoting outdoor activity and community spirit. All entry fees helped DOCA continue producing high-quality and fun events such as the International Street Festival, Carnival, and Lantern Parade in future years.
Devizes Confetti Battle also took place on 19th August.
