INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION
In 1980 the Stalybridge Festival
Committee were invited to Armentieres, Stalybridge's twin town in Northen
France and we formed a strong bond
of friendship with the Committee of their carnival, the Fete des Nieulles.
The
International connection continues to thrive with regular annual
exchange visits between our two carnival Committees. Our French counterparts
visit our Carnival in June and take part in our Carnival Parade and
our
Carnival Queens take part in their annual fete in Armentieres held
in September.
