The festival will be one of the highlights of Rodeo Week on Wednesday, August 10 with Daryl Braithwaite set to top the bill after Council was forced to cancel the 2021 event at the last minute due to COVID fears.

Appropriately, the theme of this year's parade is "Horses" and this year takes a new route.

The parade starts at the Isa St / Fourth Ave roundabout, goes over the Isa Street Bridge and heads down Miles St finishing just before Grace St.

The parade starts at 6.15pm with Council saying there will be plenty of good viewing spots along the way.

Braithwaite will play on a stage in front of the Civic Centre and there will be a beer garden there as well.

There will be a kids zone in the Civic Centre carpark featuring the CrackUp Sisters and sideshow alley.

There will be food and market stalls on West St, Miles St and Rodeo Dr.

There will be fireworks from 9pm.

There will be road closures in the CBD throughout the day:

West and Miles Streets (between Isa and Grace Sts) and Rodeo Drive (between West and Miles Sts) will be closed from 2pm Wednesday to 2am Thursday.

The area around Isa St and Fourth Ave will also be closed for the parade between 5.30pm and 7.30pm.

Council said all on street parking in the affected areas should be vacated by 2pm Wednesday.
