News - Street Festival
Artweeks in Summertown - May 17th
Summertown kicks off the City Artweeks this year with the highly anticipated Street Festival, a whole Saturday of live music and street entertainment. There will be five bands performing on a covered stage throughout the day including Cooper Black, The Immposters, King and a very dynamic young band called Disclosure who debuted here last year.
In addition to the main stage, there will be Capoiera dancing, jugglers and jazz, art for kids and delicious food for all.
This year the Festival will be located in South Parade only which will be closed to traffic, so there will be a real street party atmosphere: come and sit in one of the restaurants, dance in the street or just walk through on your way back from shopping.
From midday the artists in the area will open their homes and studios, and Summertown will be awash with music, art and fun. Our thanks as usual to Finders Keepers for sponsoring this event, and to Nicholas Hardyman at summertown.info for organising it.
