Down by the riverside, there’s all sorts going on at Leicester’s riverside festival, in the heart of the city, a weekend
bursting with music, food, arts, family fun, and vibrant waterside activity.
Starting at Bede Park, where a Ferris wheel turns, giving riders a fun overview of the festival site, and along the mile-long straight.
A right turn along the western boulevard past some balloons sees a busy street lined with traders and filled with visitors enjoying the atmosphere. We pass dancers heading to one of multiple performance stages and stalls offering GIANT SAUSAGES.
Action on the water next as the ever-popular Dragon Boats line up to race under the bridges to the beat of a drum.
In Castle Gardens, we meet performers from the House of Circus running a circus skills workshop for people of all ages. Nearby, a beautiful dress covered in flowers celebrates a bloom theme.
Back to the riverside, and we see Paddle Plus offering the chance to 'have a go' in various watercraft, and a few bubbles start to drift by.
The bubble count increases substantially over @dmuleicester Campus as two bees create fun with giant bubble wands.
Soon on Bede Park, the bubble theme continues further with human-sized inflatable ones on water!
As the day’s fun winds down, we see a view across the bridge with people enjoying various food, etc., from the event. @visitleicester #LeicesterRiverside
