GAINSBOROUGH'S ANNUAL RIVERSIDE FESTIVAL PUTS SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES ON PARADE

Every year in June Gainsborough comes alive with The Riverside Festival, an arts event taking on a different theme each year. It includes a stunning opening parade, music, dance, street theatre, stalls and displays, evening concert and firework display, vintage vehicles and lots of things to do. All these activities are provided free of charge to the public as Gainsborough is striving to regenerate itself, and this festival highlights the work done by the local community to this end. The festival is a community event which involves many groups, clubs and societies from the whole area. The organisers run many public art and performance workshops in advance of the event. The festivals's organisers are looking for financial support for these activities to ensure that they can keep them open to the widest range of people, regardless of their ability to pay.   Contact: Julie Willoughby, Secretary.
