One of the Tin Men from the Wizard of Oz carnival team

            The Somerset Carnivals are highly regarded as the largest illuminated processions in the world. 

They take place every November in Somerset, UK. They visit the local towns of Bridgwater, Burnham-on-Sea, Glastonbury, North Petherton, Shepton Mallet, Wells, and Weston-Super-Mare. The largest of these is the Bridgwater carnival which regularly attracts crowds of 150,000. 

The carnival carts are designed and built by dedicated carnival clubs around the West Country. The illuminated carts can be up to 100ft in length, 16ft high, and 11ft wide, and some have 20-30,000 light bulbs.
