A competition was held for the best table display and everyone was desperate to win.
Jackie Campbell and her friends had an excellent table complete with dress from the 1970s.
Jackie said: “We have been planning this for about a month. We really want to win. Go big or go home!”
People were dancing to the music played over a loud speaker to creative a carnival atmosphere.
Chair of Romsey Carnival, John Ray, was very pleased with how the event was going.
He said: “It's absolutely fantastic, whenever we put an event on in Romsey, the people come out. It's a summer day, everyone's been stuck in for the last three years. We've got a band and the aim is the abnd and the DJ will play music from every decade the Queen has been on the throne. The Mayor of Romsey, Cllr Neil Gwynne will judge the best table.”
