Community Fair
On Sunday 20 July, the Department of Community and Children’s Services are inviting the residents of the City of London to come together for a new type of community event: The City Life Community Fair – the City’s very own summer fete.
That day, the historic Guildhall Yard will be a blaze of colour as it hosts a fun-packed afternoon of food, entertainment and activities for all ages. At the centre will be a full-sized festival stage featuring music, dance and some very special guests. There will also be a bustling market area with stalls run by local charities and community groups.
The event is aimed at residents and tenants of the City of London but is open to all and free to attend.
Regular updates about acts and activities at the Community Fair will be posted on the FYi Facebook page as they are confirmed.
