As the very last item of WorldFest 09, there will be a community event at the Middlesbrough International Community Centre on Abingdon Road, on Saturday 6th June from 2.30 – 4.00pm. The event, which is sponsored by Northumbrian Water, is free and all are welcome – come along, meet people and celebrate our local talents.
There will be entertainment provided by young drummers and dancers, plus a display of artworks created by young people who have worked with professional artists; music will be provided by the exciting Tees Valley World Drummers and by the exhilarating Salam UK. Salam UK is a collective of excellent musicians including players from Iraq, Egypt and Staithes!
There will also be refreshments provided by Nobia’s Catering Services which offers delicious modern and traditional Afro cuisine to Teesside.
