The Devizes International Street Festival comprises a picnic in the park on Sunday 21st, the street festival itself on bank holiday Monday 29th, and the Carnival parade on Saturday 3rd September. On Wednesday 31st there will be a confetti battle, in which confetti is fired from cannons, and then people are invited to throw confetti at each other. That’s got to be worth a look.

For accommodation in Devizes for the Devizes International Street Festival, we recommend Vine Cottage Bed & Breakfast, and the George & Dragon Inn in nearby Rowde.
