Every year we get a lot of enquiries as to what is happening and when it will be happening both prior to and during the St Ives Carnival and Music Festival, the basic answer that there is no set timetable. With any event of this type there has to be quite a lot of give and take and if you want to be sure of seeing or doing anything in particular there is one rule, and that is arrive early. However to try to be as helpful as possible below you will find a simple draft schedule of events for the two days.
