London's Festivals

London's summer rolls out such a variety of Festivals. And we are privileged to see and hear a wide range of great artists both local and international. Whether you take in London's International Children's Festival, SunFest or Home County Folk Festival and many have said, it was their best ever this year Londoners are an appreciative crowd.

Coming up we have Rock the Park, Rib-Fest, London Pride Festival and then Festival of India Afrofesta, Festa Italiano, East Coast Festival, and on to LOLA in September and Lighting the Lights in November. I name just a few. Recently on the Festival Review Committee, we found festival culture alive and well. City staff meet at least once a year with festival owners and the community or as requested to discuss on going programing, logistic and scheduling. Interestingly with two big festivals behind us neither SunFest nor Home County sort to extend their hours.
