Hundreds turned out for Normoss and Staining gala to round off carnival season on the Fylde coast in style.
The village's 10th annual parade was a resounding success as cowboys, musicians, magicians and dancers came together to create a day to remember.
Blackpool Circus School were on hand to provide magic lessons, Cool Peppers Cowboys performed a Wild West show and Blackpool Zoo brought along its Creepy Crawly Roadshow.
As the gala is last of the season there were a total of 10 queens in attendance as it was their last chance to take part in the seasons festivities. Nicole Nixon, 13, was crowned gala queen.
The parade was led by Blackpool Town Crier Barry McQueen and the event was officially opened by Fylde Mayor Coun Susan Fazackerley.
Coun Albert Pounder, chairman of the Normoss and Staining Gala committee, said that the event could not have gone any better.
He said: "It was absolutely superb and In all my years on the committee I think it was the best gala we have ever had.
"The parade was a real pleasure to see and I don't think it could have gone any better than it did."
