Event date: Monday 26, May 2008 at 12:00 Pictured: Tightrope Walker Bernie Bennett
As part of the ‘2008 Heart of Three Cities Festival’, Loughborough will come alive – Streets Alive! - between 12 noon and 5pm on Bank Holiday Monday, May 26, when the town centre springs to life with a host of live performances and activities.
The Market Place and surrounding streets will be brought to life by giant robots, fantastic music from around the world, dance, jugglers and other circus skills. Streets Alive! is a great event to see local performers alongside international and national professionals.
Highlights
Highlights include the brilliant Oojami, a band which fuses the moving sounds of Turkish music with UK and other contemporary beats. This group is sure to get those hips gyrating and is a must for all belly dancing fans!
Bernie Bennett is a tightrope walker with spectacular skills and a comic genius too! Bernie trained with Cirque de Soleil and is guaranteed to entertain.
Also, the fantastic performers from Charnwood’s Got Christmas Talent will be having another outing to share their astonishing abilities with us. There will even be the odd comedian and a line up of other bands to brighten your day!
Food and Crafts
As well at performances, there will be food stalls and a host of craftspeople so you can buy little trinkets and sample the odd delicacy or two. This year, some of the shops will also be open for the Bank Holiday so why not get some shopping in and then let your feet tap their way to the main stage?
