Bringing light, colour and celebration to the heart of Exeter
InExeter is the Business Improvement District for Exeter City Centre. As part of its commitment to creating vibrant city experiences, InExeter brought back the Exeter Carnival after a 24-year absence.
The carnival featured illuminated floats, light-up street performers, marching bands, dance troupes, and community groups — all parading through the city centre on a spectacular November evening.
Our mission is to create memorable events that bring the community together, support local businesses, and showcase the best of Exeter to residents and visitors alike.
The carnival is part of InExeter's programme to animate the city centre with world-class events.
