Hundreds of talented local artists are set to perform alongside the national and international line-up at this year’s Bradford Festival.
A wide range of local acts feature in a programme packed with innovative street theatre, music, dance and creative workshops which will be suitable for people of all ages.
Some of Bradford’s most talented children take to the stage on the opening day on 12 June, in an event featuring music, dance and celebration. Local school children will take part in a mass dance and a mass sing, and in workshops and taster sessions organised by the Bradford Local Cultural Education Partnership.
Vanessa Allen, Bradford Council’s Major Events Programme Manager, said: “We are delighted to again feature so many local artists at the Bradford Festival.
“The breadth of Bradford talent is incredible and district artists bring an energy and friendliness to the festival that would be hard to find anywhere else.”
The Bradford Festival takes places in City Park from 12-14 July and entry is free.
