The Colchester Street Festival is set to take place next month and plans for a carnival street procession are well under way.
Planned for Saturday, September 7, the street festival will be officially opened by Colchester town mayor Nigel Chapman. A variety of events will then follow.
The main stage for the day will be set in Lion Walk Yard and will be home to a variety of music and theatre acts, while in Lion Walk shopping centre there will be a number of different street acts.
There will be more music and dancing in both Trinity Street and Portal Street and a children's hop-scotch area in Culver Street.
More children's entertainment will be on offer in Tymperleys museum, including a Punch and Judy show, face-painting and the Story Domes.
Colchester Arts Centre will be home to a number of Samba ramble workshops, in a build-up to the Great Samba Ramble, which will see a procession of people in costume playing instruments and demonstrating Samba dance. The workshops and procession are open to all.
