One of the Event organiser Jeanette Walsh commented, “Organising an event of this scale involves significant costs, and we are grateful for the unwavering support from our local business community. We are thrilled to welcome The Dolphin who continues as our main sponsor and appreciate Poole BID’s consistent contribution”. The Seafood and Sounds Parade, sponsored by Poole Quay restaurant Oriels, will open the weekend festivities. Children are invited to participate in the parade dressed in their best seafood-themed fancy dress, beginning at the Slug & Lettuce and concluding at Oriels Restaurant around 11:20 AM.
