The first Caldmore Village Festival will be held on 29th-31st May 2010. The festival has been organised by local people and organisations and will be a multicultural spectacular taking place over the 3 days.
Caldmore is a multicultural area on the edge of Walsall town Centre. For many years it has been the natural home of Walsall's artists and artisans from many cultures around the world, but it is also one of the most economically deprived neighbourhoods in Walsall.
The concept of the Caldmore Village Festival has been developed through to the creation of the Caldmore Village Festival Group. In this, its first year the festival committee has involved a wide number of community groups in planning for the festival and already local groups are pledging to organise a range of community cultural events leading up to the festival weekend and during the weekend itself.
Watch out for more details!
The Festival will incorporate a main stage which will have music and performances on all of the days from 12-8pm on the playing fields of Caldmore Community Primary School.There will be Music from many cultures along with Community performances from Caldmore Shines‚ lead by Darryll Prew and a Bollywood Spectacular lead by local Choreographer Jaimal Mistry providing a dance extravaganza
Apart from the main stage events there will be many other festival activities. Lots of local organisations will be hosting events along with sports events including a 6-a-side football competition and Kabbadi and Stonelifting.
