Shoreditch Trust’s annual community festival celebrates life and living in Shoreditch. Featuring local music makers, arts organisations, writers, performers, schools, food producers, residents and visitors, the festival transforms the neigbourhood of a number of days each year. Originally taking over Shoreditch Park, the festival has recently moved to a stretch of Regent’s Canal, with everything from floating stages to water parades. 

Shoreditch Festival won the Bridging Cultures Award (2008) and the Regeneration and Renewal Award (2009). On both occasions it was recognised how the pigeons, played a role in its success.
