Its a carnival they also have all sorts of other events going on through the day
Here is some history on the old town
"The whole of the 17th century was a period of turmoil across the nation, and nowhere more so than Bridgwater. In 1605, with the failure of the Gunpowder Plot, Bridgwater, along with other towns and villages, celebrated with the traditional bonfire and fireworks displays. But in Bridgwater this tradition was to develop into what has now become the world’s largest night time carnival."
