Hundreds of people will line the streets of Rickmansworth next weekend as Ricky Week returns for the 62st time.
The popular week will kick off next Saturday with the town’s High Street becoming a sea of colour as the annual parade moves through the town.
Decorated floats and other entries taking part in the parade will assemble on the southern side of the High Street between the railway bridge and St Joan of Arc School.
At 1.30pm, it will make its way through the High Street, Station Road, Northway and Church Street, before finishing at the Bury Grounds.
During the following week, tens of thousands of participants descend on Rickmansworth to enjoy the activities and displays laid on by dozens of local charities.
Ricky Week will culminate with the 23 Rickmansworth Festival on Saturday, May 21 and Sunday, May 22.
Live music can be seen across three stages including, rock, jazz and folk performances.
Traditional narrow-boats will also be on display as part of the annual festival. Performances on the music stages in the Aquadrome and Batchworth Lock start at 11am.
The Festival car park in Stockers Farm Road costs £3 for the day.
