MORE than 800 people — mainly youngsters — in colourful, dazzling costume, took part in this year’s Ryde Arts Parade.
Hundreds of people lined the seafront and the town centre to view the spectacle on Saturday evening.
Organised by the Ryde-based Carnival Learning Centre, 22 groups entered, many from schools in the Ryde area.
This year’s theme was Amazing Journeys.
Along the route, £731 was collected in buckets for Ryde Carnival Association.
