A group of girls are dressed in white costumes and star crown headdresses. Two girls at the front and back of the float are holding heraldic trumpets. The float is on Marine Parade passing the Municipal Baths which are visible at the background left of the image. Several young swimmers in bathing costumes can be seen along the footpath in front of the sea wall.
