‘The festival offers an extensive variety of productions to suit everyone. The theme this year is “District 6!” and it reflects and celebrates the people, the unity and colour of this community. It also highlights the rich diversity of our arts and culture and promises to be food for the soul. The City is a proud supporter of this inclusive event,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Tourism, Events and Economic Development, Councillor Garreth Bloor.
