The colourful procession was the culmination of a carnival week filled with fun events and activities ranging from the popular Pram Race to a doughnut eating competition.
And the event enjoyed perfect weather as the sun shone through the whole day.
The procession, which had a theme of Kings and Queens, was led by Section Five drummers and followed a route along the seafront and through the Old Town.
Carnival Association chairman Keith Leech said: “It was a fantastic procession and good to see so many local youth groups taking part. It brought a smile to the town after the recent difficult years we have been through.”
