REGENT’S ROOTS FESTIVAL

Saturday 2nd August 1-6pm
Outside ODAC, NW1 3FE.

Regent’s Roots returns for a fourth year with another fun-filled festival, celebrating the diversity of our local community! This year, even more of the fantastic groups ODAC supports will be sharing their passions and showcasing their work with the community.

With circus-theatre from Joli Vyann, South Asian dance from Beeja, and Camden Collabs, plus performances from FYA’s Young Singers and ODAC’s Remix Dance. There’ll be workshops from textiles to Ukrainian singing, and creative workshops with One Roof, exploring where we lay our roots.

Free delicious food from Masala King will be served from 1pm – it’s set to be a brilliant afternoon. Come and celebrate with us, our community, and friends!
