Missing does not mean zero. Going, likes and sub-event counts do not replace the main event’s Interested count.

Date and time follow the current regional tourism listing; a fully readable host announcement was not obtained, so the record remains provisional. A current Malvern News search excerpt adds route and celebration times, but the full article failed to load and its extra details are not imported. The API’s Z-tagged 14:00 is not treated as parade finish. Map marks the regional listing point, not the complete route. Photograph year unspecified.
