CANTERBURY Festival is back this Saturday, lasting for a fortnight. The celebration features an exhibition of art forms, from theatre to classical music, to comedy to dance.
The grand opening will be filled with hundreds of children and community groups parading the city centre streets in ‘carnivalesque' masks and decorative costumes.
Charlotte Campbell, 41, from Whistable said: "Last year’s festival was filled with fun events for my two little boys. They loved it. And for me, I just loved the dancing in the street.
"Everyone would stop and stare, forget about the retail shopping they were doing, put their bags on the floor and sing along and dance to the music, it’s an amazing thing to be part."
With last year the festivals 25th anniversary, Director Rosie Turner comments on how this year will be different: "This year locally based artists will be the front line. the talented oboist Ian Crowther will be bring his chamber orchestra to the festival and then we have the talented novelist Nina Bell questioning who are the literary heroes of today. It's all about highlighting individuality this year and sampling inspirational artists work. "
