It runs for about 21 days with over 200 various places that take part. This year we are expecting over half million people to attend.
During the festival you will come across Children's Parade, outdoor spectaculars often involving pyrotechnics, and a great deal of theatre, music, literature and visual arts in venues throughout the city, some of which are brought into this use exclusively for the festival. There are street dancers, stilt walkers, fire eaters and jugglers to be found on your travels.
