The theme for 2020 was 'A Cavalcade of Colour' 

Participants were encouraged to plan their float designs around this theme, including what they believe reflects and symbolises the Tamworth Country Music Festival. Participants were encouraged to have fun with their designs and ideas. The float designs were amazing!
