Sunday 13th July ‘Celebr8‘ In Central Milton Keynes

‘Celebr8′ is a celebration of the diversity of our community which welcomes people from all horizons. This is the closing event for the first Milton Keynes Big Moo Fringe Festival of the Arts (BMFFA) and the launch of next year’s festival. We wish to raise the profile of international human rights and promote all strands of diversity and understanding through the arts.

‘Celebr8′ will set off from outside the Church of Christ the Cornerstone after the close of the evening Creative Meditation. It will then proceed with flags and banners through the shopping and theatre districts into Margaret Powell Gardens, where there will be juggling, live music and spoken performances from TLC Creative as well as guest speakers. This is an event for people of all ages, backgrounds and disabilities who may take part as actively or as passively as they feel appropriate.

Organisations participating and supporting the event include: * BMFFA * Q:Alliance * MAD * MKC *MK REC * MKCVO * Blueprint Bar * KIK Music * The Big Moo2 * The Church of Christ the Cornerstone (non-denominational, ecumenical) * CMKP* and many more….
