Circus acts, dance troupes, best-dressed pets and bikes, market stalls, competitions and even a flash mob will thrill this year’s festival goers.

The show begins at 9am, and includes a full program of entertainment, activities, competitions and stalls.

Don’t miss the school flash mob dance. Sponsored by the Batemans Bay Chamber of Commerce, the Seaside Carnivale will include performances and displays by Bay High Circus, Stepz Dance Troupe, Surf Life Saving Club Nippers, St Bernard’s Choir, fire fighters and scouts.

There also will be prizes for the furthest spanner throw, as well as the best-dressed pet, bike and teddy bear.

The tombola is sure to be a huge hit again this year, with some big donations from local businesses.
