If we’re having a street party this year, we could try to make sure it doesn’t clash with other events people might want to go to. These are some events already planned this year:
07.06.2009 Camden Green Fair 2009 Regents Park Camden
20.06.2009 Tottenham Carnival Bruce Castle Park Tottenham
20.06.2009 Paradise Gardens Festival Victoria Park Tower Hamlets
04.07.2009 Pride London 2009 Various, Central London -
04.07.2009 Leytonstone Festival Various – Leytonstone
12.07.2009 Rise Festival Finsbury Park
12.07.2009 Walthamstow Festival (council-organised, clashing with Rise as usual. Rise is the one chance Londoners have to get together and make a positive statement about embracing all the cultures in our town and rejecting racism)
2009 Shoreditch Festival Shoreditch, various venues
18.07.09 Lovebox Victoria Park
18.07.2009 Leytonstone Festival Various – Leytonstone -

Also, there is the Brick Lane Festival and the Walthamstow Mela. – anyone know the dates of these?

Correction – the Rise festival is cancelled this year due to sponsors pulling out, I understand, because of Boris trying to ruin it. What a surprise.
