My first UK Festival, and according to the veterans, I picked the best. We started off at, what else, the food festival, where we got to decorate a ginger bread house, dance with fairies, walk on the beach, eat giant shrimps from the pan and sample all types of ciders. The weather was great, people were out in force, and the atmosphere was electric.
The highlight is the parade which takes place at night. It’s somewhat similar to Mardi Gras, but since I’ve never been to Mardi Gras, I can’t compare. Think dancing, giant papier mache, revealing costumes, and you get the idea. There were various levels of performance, but was generally a fun night out. The festival concluded with some fireworks over the River Thames, and was a great conclusion to a great day.
