A multi-cultural festival in the heart of Northampton on 23rd April 2011

The Rainbow Bridge Festival is an anti-discrimination, affordable festival with a green ethos promoting a strong message of an inclusive, tolerant community in Northampton.

The event will take place around the new Dragon Mound Play Area on Northampton Racecourse from 12 noon to 5pm on 23rd April 2011.
There will be a World Music Stage, Performance Stage, Children's Area, Cinema Tent, Equality & Human Rights marquee, Street
Performance Area, Healing Tent and Stalls.

Confirmed acts so far are Sandeep Raval, Tarantism, Joe Bunn (The Bard of Northampton), Somalian Youth Dance Group, Queen Oak (all female) Morris Dancers.

In the children's area we will have Arts & Crafts, Mask Making, Toys, Facepainting and more.

Rainbow Bridge has been set-up to organise a programme of activities that promote community cohesion and well-being between communities in Northampton and Northamptonshire through the arts, including performance, music and art mediums that will encourage contribution from the spectrum of minority communities (both ethnic and of interest) in the area. We plan to do this by organising a festival of cultural celebration on St George's day making this a day that all parts of British culture can enjoy together.

Be there and take action to eliminate discrimination on April 23rd
