The procession ended at Shorts Road with people going on to a fete at New Century Park.
Highlights included 12th Eastleigh Scouts with a Thunderbirds costume theme.
The Wyvern College Steelband performed giving the event a suitably tropical feel under the blue skies.
LR Brooks Chimney Services had a suitably-themed lorry with youngsters dressed as sweeps.
Somewhere amid the colour was the Mayor of Eastleigh, Jane Welsh.
