Description

This year's IWA Cavalcade is taking place over the spring bank holiday weekend, 30th April – 2nd May 2022. This suspension is to allow boats and traders to arrive on site and allow for the set up of the event.

It's one of the largest waterways festivals in the country and an important tradition in the local community. Boaters travel for miles to attend and the event attracts visitors from across London, and beyond.

The programme includes a wide range of activities for all the family. There will be floating events and competitions, Morris Dancers, food stalls and a licensed real ale bar, a trade and craft show, music, a procession of illuminated boats and a parade of historic and working craft.

Please be aware that there will be a full mooring suspension on the Paddington Arm between Bridge 3, Harrow Road (A404) and Bridge 1C (St Marys Footbridge). This is from Monday 25th April to Tuesday 3rd May inclusive.
