The Piazza The Parade
AFC Wimbledon took up a new position on The Piazza this year. We had some human footballing fun, merchandise from their stand plus 1st team players and management made an appearance. There were also other stands from Paul Strank & Sons Roofing, Nandos and Danceaid.tv as well as a selection of market stalls that ran all the way down to Tapanco. There was also an hilarious dance-off between macots including Pudsey, Womble and several more!

Joining us in the parade this year were the fantastic Taste of Brasil, AFC Wimbledon, Samuel Estates, Father Christmas, Dancebites, Haslemere Primary, Morden Primary, Goals Soccer Centres, Cherry Pie Music, YMCA Wimbledon, Time & Leisure, Wimbledon College of Art, Eddie Catz and the Borough Brass Band!
