Swindon's shoppers will experience a variety of colourful entertainment when the Swindon Summer Festival launches next month.
This year's event promises to be even more spectacular than ever before, with more than 70 performances spread over five days.
The event will be the town's biggest street party and will start on Wednesday July 14 in the Parade outside Debenhams department store with the Gandini Jugglers, one of the world's leading juggling groups opening the event.
The main events will be held on the Big Weekend, Saturday, July 17 and Sunday, July 18 with a spectacular Atlantis carnival parade through the town centre, involving nearly 200 local children.
This will be supported by 45 street performers who will entertain the crowds playing music, walking the trapeze, and performing acrobatics.
The festival also includes a dynamic selection of acts including festival music, dance, comedy and acrobatics displays from Kenya and China and other parts of the world.
