Derby Feste Returns!
One of the highlights of Derby's cultural calendar returns for a fifth year, on Friday 23rd & Saturday 24th September.
Derby Festé is now firmly established and recognised as a high quality, FREE, live performance event in the heart of the city that people of all ages can enjoy and immerse themselves in. Attended by not only local residents, from Derby and surrounding towns and villages, but also visitors to the city, from all over the UK, the main appeal of the event, and what has attracted thousands of people to the city in previous years, is the pure quality of the entertainment and spectacle on offer.
Derby Festé 2011 will bring a variety of international and local artists together and the exciting festival programme for this year, produced by Walk the Plank, will include the return of Sarruga, who thrilled audiences in 2007 and 2008, with another of their jaw-dropping acts.
For 2011 Sarruga will transform the city centre into a spectacular seabed where giant illuminated fish and creatures from the deep represent the inhabitants of the sea as they move through the streets of Derby. Allow yourself to be lured into the experience by vivid colours and special effects, as music, sound and light immerse you in the beautiful ocean. Join the parade towards a fantastic finale at Cathedral Green.
Derby Festé is organised by QUAD, déda and Derby LIVE and supported by a host of organisations including the Lottery funded Legacy Trust, Igniting Ambition and Westfield Derby. This cultural event is not only talked about, written about and enthused about on a local level but has been highlighted as a quality event to attend in the national media too.
Keith Jeffrey (CEO, QUAD) said:
"Festé is an established part of the calendar and is part of what makes Derby different. This year's line
up looks to be as exciting as ever and QUAD is delighted to be involved."
