The Birmingham Artfest is one of the biggest art festivals that takes place in the UK. Not only is it the biggest, but also one of the most interesting one due to the variety of things you see there. I particularly loved the the Friday night events which had the Folk Dance fest. It was definitely a big hit, especially with festival goers dancing in the rain!
On Saturday, the event finished with a bang with spectacular fireworks combined with performances by some very talented people from the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and the Birmingham Opera Company. Excerpts from Star Wars, William Tell Overtune and Jaws were additional highlights of the event, which I enjoyed thoroughly.
Some of the other attractions that interested me were Bollywood dancing, fretted orchestra, and Japanese sword art. There were a number of other free events, attractions, and activities that me busy the entire day.
In fact, the fest this year was so good, I'm already looking forward to the festival planned for next year!
