Sun 13th June, 2010 - 12pm to 5pm @ Loughborough Town Centre

Festival Time in Loughborough’s Historic Market Place!

A fantastic celebration of culture and the diversity of Charnwood!

‘Streets Alive!’ is an annual celebratory event in the streets of Loughborough that combines music, live performances, street stalls and an excellent selection of food. The event will again be supported by our French friends, who this year, will provide a unique Continental Craft Market offering a wide range of both hand crafted and manufactured goods from throughout Europe. This will be supported by our very own local traders offering fine English crafts alongside our continental colleagues. We invite you to take a tour through Europe and visit the variety of stalls offering a rich flavour of continental charm and hope that you truly enjoy this unique shopping experience.

The Market opens at 10.00 am, then from 12 noon until 5.00pm the streets will come alive with the sound of music from this year’s ‘Charnwood’s Got Talent’ stars, the summer sounds of local Ska favourites, Ska-Amanga and much much more!
