North Edinburgh Community Festival
Saturday 29 September 2012
12.00 – 4.00pm
The Forthquarter Park
North Edinburgh Community Festival 2012 will take place on Saturday 29 September at the Forthquarter Park, situated behind Edinburgh’s Telford College. Over 5,000 people have attended in past years, drawn from the different communities of North Edinburgh. Our aim is to provide a fun, free, family day out for everyone to enjoy.
The Gala has enabled a wide range of local and community groups to raise awareness of their work as well as gain publicity, attract volunteers, distribute information and highlight any particular issues that they are involved in – the event is a fantastic opportunity to bring your work to the attention of the local community.
From the success of our previous Festivals we have found that the best way to showcase your work is to have an activity people can participate in. This could be directly related to what you do or could be a bit of fun… something to make, to see or taste!
There is no fee for organisations wanting to be part of the big day, and any money raised by you will be yours to keep. If you want to be part of the North Edinburgh Community Festival this year, please contact Jim Pattison at jim.pattison@edinburgh.gov.uk by 31 July – that’s tomorrow!
