Shoreditch Festival 2010

Shoreditch Festival 2010 will be held in Shoreditch Park all weekend

This year will mark the Shoreditch Trust’s ninth annual Shoreditch Festival from July 16-18. The free, cultural festival is designed to highlight the arts in East London in a family-friendly atmosphere.

Taking place in Shoreditch Park, the three-day weekend will feature music, art, literature, film, and culinary arts emerging from the lively postcodes of Hackney.

Kicking off the festival at 7:30 on Friday is Proms in the Shoreditch Park, featuring the Royal Philarharmic Orchestra and a fireworks finale.

Saturday from 1-7pm will feature a yet-to-be-announced line up of live music and festival acts. With numerous stages supporting dance, literature, and performers there will surely be plenty to entertain. Barbican films will be shown on a big screen and a children’s activities will also be available. The curious promise of a Shoreditch Bark Dog Show is also included and that alone might be enough to tempt east-london dwellers to the park on Saturday.

The weekend will conclude with World in Motion day Sunday. Sponsored by the Shoreditch Trust, the Barbican Centre, and Guildhall School of Drama and Music–the day has been organized by young people and will include live music, fashion, dance, and film from 1-7pm.

It’s unbeatable price of free along with ample entertainment and promises of food, music, and dog barking makes the Shoreditch Festival worth checking out–especially if you are already a lover of all things Shoreditch.
