This year's Bridgwater Carnival helped raise more than 24 thousands pounds for charity.
After moving from a Friday to a Saturday for the first time, the weather held up for the night. And England's oldest lit procession had a few surprises in store...
Organisers have announced that the street collection held during this year's Bridgwater Carnival raised £24,565, an increase of nearly £3,500 on 2011.
The money will be shared between ten local charities.
A fireworks display will take place in Bridgwater later ahead of the annual Guy Fawkes Carnival. The event is organised by Bridgwater Town Council and Sedgemoor District Council.
The Carnival will take place on a Saturday for the first time in years to make it more accessible to families. And there'll also be a fairground at St Matthews Field.
Tens of thousands of people turned out to see the annual procession of floats through the town last year despite flooding in the area. This year the carnival will take place on a Saturday for the first time in more than one hundred years. That diary date - November the third.
An emergency meeting is being held tonight (Wednesday) to try to save the Highbridge and Burnham-on-Sea Carnival. The event is in danger of being cancelled this year due to a lack of volunteers to help with the organising.
