THOUSANDS of people lined the streets to watch Holsworthy Carnival on Saturday.

A variety of colourful and creative floats and wonderful walking entries paraded along the new route through the town.

This year the carnival was organised by Holsworthy Lions Club.

Mayor of Holsworthy, John Allen said it was one of the biggest carnivals the town has held.

"It was a wonderfully successful evening organised by the Lions.

"It was a tremendous success in their first year and probably one of the biggest carnivals Holsworthy has ever had. Congratulations to the Lions for putting on such a splendid event."
