Feature Leeds Waterfront Festival 2010
The festival will be back again in July, and promises to be bigger and better than ever
Feature: Leeds Waterfront Festival 2010
Leeds can boast of hosting many festivals, some better-known than others. Live at Leeds, Unity Day, the International Film Festival, the Food and Drink Festival, that one Melvin Benn does…we could go on. They are all anticipated by locals on an annual basis, and consist of a richly diverse set of celebrations.
In July, Leeds Waterfront Festival will return for a full weekend of al fresco entertainment. After last year’s success, organisers are expanding and aiming to exceed expectations. The location will be provided by four riverside settings, namely Thwaite Mills, Clarence Dock, Brewery Wharf and Granary Wharf.
Last year there were over 6000 visitors, so with the extension of the venues for this year’s festivities, hopes are high that the event will continue to grow. Entertainment will be provided by jazz, rhythm and blues artists, street theatre performers, bands, guided Civic Trust walks, arts and crafts, water activities and boats bedecked with decoration.
Sat 17th-Sun 18th July. The event will be free. http://Leedswaterfrontfestival.com
