July 2006 sees the launch of the Fir Vale Festival. Green City Action is producing what looks to be the latest success story to the ever-growing world of Sheffield's community festivals.
The festival will feature a whole host of attractions and activities such as:
An outside music performance stage with headline acts of international profile like Gubi Sanddu, one of the uk's hottest Bhangra artists working the Asian music scene today. His act will be supported by Dhol players and Spice dancers, making this showcase a tret not to be missed. The other main act on the day is a Zimbabwian accapela troup currently on tour in the UK. These eight young men are set to thrill and entertain people with their critically acclaimed act.
The festival has also booked local performers to support the main acts on the day. Add to this the other attractions of circus skills workshops from local company Jamboree, a local traders market, art and craft workshops for the little ones in the Connexions centre, Funfair rides and sporting activities from Activity Sheffield. This event is set to promote the Fir vale community as the place to be for true local harmony through culture.
The event runs from 1pm till 5:30pm on the day and is free to attend.

The event is to be funded by the Fir Vale Community Forum and the Fir Vale Vision project.
This is not the first event Green City Action has worked on in the Fir vale area. Over the last couple or years smaller events have been organised on the Wensley Estate Green land and in the newly reopened Community Centre last year.
These events have helped pave the way for the planning and development of this year's event. By staging the event in the Fir vale School grounds, the organisers hope to catch the attention and participation of the area's local residents.
