Could you be a proud sponsor of the Plymouth Respect Festival 2008
The Respect festival has become the largest and most spectacular celebration of diversity in the South West, and last year attracted over 20,000 visitors from the westcountry and beyond. It is free of charge and its ethos is one of inclusion and respect for difference.
Over the two day event the programme includes non stop performances from a range of multi-cultural bands; interactive workshops such as African drumming, Chinese letter painting, silk painting, henna tattooing; and a whole variety of activities for all ages. The festival is traditionally opened by the children’s procession on Sunday morning.
This festival continues to emphasis the richness and diversity of Plymouth. The corporate plans for our city aim to ensure that Plymouth becomes “one of Europe’s finest, most vibrant waterfront cities where an outstanding quality of life is enjoyed by everyone.” The festival symbolises this vision and invites all the residents (ajnd visitors) of Plymouth to enjoy a sense of optimism and potential for real community cohesion.
