Peoples Day programme 2010

Welcome

Welcome to Lewisham People’s Day
At 26 years old, Lewisham People’s Day is one
of the largest and longest running community
festivals in London. I am proud of the support
the Council and the community has given the
festival over the years to help it flourish.
I am always amazed at the sheer number of
individuals and community groups that work
with the People’s Day team all year round, to
create the projects, performances and artworks
that make this a truly unique event.
This year People’s Day is celebrating home-grown talent and I am
looking forward to seeing and hearing some of the many artists and
performers who live, work and learn in our very creative borough.
I am particularly grateful to all of our event partners for their continuing
commitment to People’s Day.
I hope you have a wonderful day.
Best wishes
