You can expect wonderful live music, spectacular dance performances and an array of vibrant decorations and colours. We want to bring a fun, friendly, diverse event to our town to mark the beginning of the Watford Fringe Festival. There will be a grand stage hosting a variety of live entertainment throughout the day, creating a buzzing atmosphere and showcasing the best of Watford’s community and culture.

The Cultural Party is FREE, and you do not need to register to attend; simply visit The Watford High Street Parade event space and you’ll be able to enjoy the summer fun!  There will also be events in Watford Market, some street acts and the Waford Fringe Festival box office.

The Cultural Party has been jointly organised by the Pump House Theatre and Arts Trust, Watford Town Centre BID, and Watford Borough Council and supported by Warner Bros. Studios.
