– We’ve got more organisations working with us this year. There will be lots of things for the children, with ”have a try” dancing that Barbacka is responsible for. There will be competitions, and women from the House of Beatrice will do some creative handwork with the children, she says.

On stage, a children’s choir will sing, there will be a dance show , poetry-reading, African dancing and lots of other things.

Brownbetty of Sweden will hold a workshop on painting. Wendes Pétanque Club is responsible for boule games. A fairground, a bazaar run by local clubs, and naturally loads of food from many different cultures.

The festival is between 2 and 9 pm. Free entrance.
