Description

Film documenting a community festival in the Granby area of Liverpool - shots from a moving car of the terraced streets are followed by a fancy dress parade and children getting their faces painted and playing on bouncy castles. A crowd dances to a band, and a performance from "Temba", an African dance group. People participate in community games, obstacle courses, and assist with a large floor painting. There are performances from street theatre groups, and children take part in craft activities as the commentary discusses the events.
