The St Winnold's Parade is an annual event that celebrates Downham Market’s history, particularly its centuries-old connection to horse trading and its historic market charter. Held in the March each year, the parade commemorates the St Winnold’s Fair, which was once one of the largest horse fairs in Europe. The tradition dates back centuries and is tied to the town’s heritage as a key trading centre for horseflesh.
