where: Clifton Street in Adamsdown
When: Sunday 28 August, 2022
A day of circus, dance, music and art held on Clifton Street in Adamsdown on Sunday 28th August, 2022.
Local creative partners, Rubicon, Inkspot and Fluidity will be supporting the day and there will be a mixture of live music, performance and workshops. For one day the street will come alive with participative performances and local shopkeepers will showcase the diverse range of foods and shopping opportunities to be found on the street.
We are thrilled to have our friends at Ingoma Nshya, a Rwandan women’s drumming group joining us for a live performance of their incredible African drumming; they are an incredible musical experience and we can’t wait to hear them live!
