12/01/2022 - Vegan food and dragon dances planned for Luton Street Fest

The three events will see a range of food stalls and demonstrations, arts and crafts, live performances, music and DJs and much more.

Cllr Sian Goding, portfolio holder for Regeneration and Inclusive Growth said, “This is very exciting news. The last 20 months have been difficult and events have been few and far between, so to be able to announce one each month to kick off 2022 is just what we need.

“I’m sure that businesses and visitors to the town centre alike will be pleased to see things starting to return to normal, which is a vital part to the town’s economic recovery from COVID-19 and we hope people come down and enjoy themselves”

                                                                                       

The vegan food fest will take place on Friday 28 and Saturday 29 January, Chinese New Year on Friday 11 and Saturday 12 February and the wellness weekend will be held on Friday 25 and Saturday 26 March.

Luton Street Fest 2022 is open to all ages.
