Singing, dancing and even a spot of dragon boat racing. It has all happened at Hetton Carnival over the years.
From historical re-enactments to carnival rides and a makers and bakers market, there’s plenty happening at this year’s Hetton Carnival.
To get you into the spirit of the occasion, we gathered up all of these photo memories from the Sunderland Echo archives.
They span from 1992 to 2022 and we wonder if we got someone that you know on camera.
If we did, get in touch and tell us more.
Or maybe there is another aspect of Wearside’s past you would like us to spotlight, such as a pub, club, restaurant or shop that you loved.
