Date: 01/09/2010

Streetfest 2010 is North Somerset’s biggest celebration of young people’s creativity, offering an exciting weekend packed full of FREE events for the whole family to watch and join in with.

 
Following last year’s hugely successful event, organisers have developed a three-day programme of street dance, music, art, and comedy workshops and performances on the Beach Lawns, Weston-super-Mare from Friday 10 to Sunday 12 September.

Streetfest 2010 kicks off on Friday afternoon with a carnival parade along the Promenade led by the drums of African song and dance troupe group Siyaya and over 500 primary school children from Walliscote, Ashcombe and Bournville primary schools.

The celebrations continue with Broadoak School presenting a selection of memorable numbers from the hit musical FAME, a Fashion Freestyle Show direct from London College of Fashion’s summer residency at Weston College, and then an evening of the very best local young bands play the main stage from Find Your Talent’s Natural Talent Records stable and local bands from Weston College.
