Organisers?
Cavalcade of Light is an annual event organised by Waltham Abbey Town Council. More information can be found here.
Parade Route
The parade will start at the Town Hall and will proceed along Church Street, Market Square and Sun Street to Darby Drive.
Local businesses in Sun Street will be encouraged to stay open so there is still lots to see and do after the barriers have been removed.

Another good place is the Town Mead car park (accessed from Brooker Road) with a few minutes walk up to the Market Square.
There is also the Lee Valley Parks car park by the Abbey Gardens https://www.visitleevalley.org.uk/parking-at-our-open-spaces
There is also lots of street parking available just outside the town centre.
Please remember to check opening hours, restrictions and charges if you use any of the car parks. They are not all the same.
But of course, please walk if you are able to !
