Back for its fifth year, this free-to-attend weekend festival promises to be another fabulous celebration of our city and all the reasons we love it - our culture, our music, our diversity and our talented communities.
This year we're linking up with the National Year of Reading and will fill our festival with stories - not just in books but in music, poetry, performances, our communities and in everyone's lives and experiences. Join us to tell your story!
In the meantime if you are a performer, food vendor, would like to have a stall or would just like to find out more about how you could get involved with your community, please email [email protected]
