As an indication of the size of the parade the 2008 parade included 47 entries. The floats and walking group are entered by local schools\, businesses\, voluntary organisations and charities and are judges and prizes/certificates awarded before the parade commences at around 1.15 pm. \nLocal organisations are selected to benefit from a collection which is held during the day and a substantial sum is collected from the estimated 25\,000 people who line the streets to watch the parade. A carnival programme is also professionally produced and the proceeds from its sale together with the carnival raffle add to the funds for the beneficiaries. \nMany local businesses join in the celebrations by helping with the production costs of the programme by taking out adverts and an average of 30 shopkeepers join in the annual window dressing competition every year. The window decorations are varied and attractive and after being judged on the Sunday before the carnival remain on show all week adding to the carnival atmosphere in the town. \n2014 was a great year with the Tour De France passing through Otley as well as the Carnival. This year its the 32nd year and the City of Leeds Pipe Band are really happy to be supporting the event once more!
