Festival 2008: Success!!!
Do
you believe in miracles?... here at Saltaire
Festival we are beginning to do just that - after a summer
of much rain and very little sunshine, the clouds parted not only
for the first weekend of the festival, but also for the Finale
Weekend, letting the warmth of the sun shine down on all the
wonderful activities happening around the village and in Roberts Park.

In Moving Images
Everywhere
you went throngs of people were out enjoying themselves. and the sun,
blessing us with its presence, set the seal on a wonderful Festival.
"Its the best party of the year!"
Calm,
peaceful and full of joy, (plus in some cases a few pints of beer)
the Finale Weekend went without a hitch.
In the small intimate surroundings of Saltaire, World Heritage Site;
thousands of people were out and about, experiencing all the fun of
the fair, the Continental Street Market,
Street Entertainment, free music on the
Piazza Stage, masses of exotic stalls
& entertainment on the Roberts Park Stage,
and a fabulous dog show. "Saltaire
Festival, yes....brilliant, wonderful."
