Mayor Roger Fern will be attending Ipswich County Library’s annual Multicultural Day on Saturday 25th June, which offers a range of performances and activities celebrating the diverse Ipswich community.
The popular annual event in Northgate Street is free and runs from 10.30am to 3.30pm.
Events and activities include:
A Middle Eastern live band, flamenco performance and workshop, African drummers, Cuban samba, ATS tribal belly dance, African and Indian food, henna tattoos, face painting, a fashion show, African stories and a live kids’ radio station.
Anyone is welcome to drop in to the library throughout the day and there will be other stalls provided by local multicultural organisations. The event will close with a set by folk band Kiss the Mistress.
The event will also include a print-making workshop by Oyster Community Press as part of a project they are running at the library called ‘Eye for Ipswich’ which will feature a special exhibition on display at the library from 23rd June for a month. Members of the library’s Chat n’ Chill group which runs twice a week for women who do not speak English as their first language have been involved in this project.
