Programmed by the Barbican and Create London in partnership with Waltham Forest Council, the Walthamstow Garden Party is a free two-day festival in E17 that combines a cracking music line-up with plenty of family fun: theatre, dancing, comedy, circus, art activities and a designers’ market.
This year you can catch fly husband and wife duo Amadou & Mariam, Brazilian songstress Tassia Reis, Colombian salsa band LA-33 and jazz singer-songwriter Zara McFarlane on the music stage. Plus readings from the Barbican Young Poets, pop-up performances from Drum Works, shreddings showcases from Skatepark Jam and a bar from Wild Card Brewery.
Well worth venturing up the Victoria line for.
