It then continues through Great Dunmow High Street, bands play, dancers perform and the streets are lined deep with people, traditionally the children put coins into collection buckets, all the profits are used for local charities and projects.
The Theme for 2010 is FILMS so the Floats, Walkers and many of the Shops will be displaying something to do with the theme, they use their own imagination.
