Boston to host celebration with procession and live entertainment for King’s coronation

Boston Borough Council community leadership team is planning a carnival in Central Park to celebrate the coronation of King Charles III.

The town will be decked out in red, white and blue on Saturday, 6th May with May Fair stalls decorated with bunting and shopkeepers encouraged to decorate their shops. There will also be a procession starting in Pescod Square Shopping Centre going through to Central Park Boston.

Festivities will include a stage with performances by The Biz Entertainment School, fancy dress competition, balloon modelling, face painting, comedy Maypole, music entertainment and activities.

The event is to run between 10am and 2pm with free entry.

The organiser of the team said: “The coronation will be for many a once in a lifetime experience and a chance to celebrate a day where history is made.

“The focus of the day will be to encourage people to enjoy the spectacle of the coronation.”

The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport is also encouraging communities to have street parties by relaxing road closure rules and making residents aware of available support and guidance.

This event is sponsored by Boston Big Local, Boston Borough Council, Rock Construction and Greenyard.
