Introducing the festival
The 2008 festival will be held between Saturday 19 and Sunday 27 April 2008
A new multicultural festival in historic Southwark
Southwark has many reasons to celebrate St George, both as patron saint of England and as patron of many of the diverse communities now belonging to the borough.
This year we’re bringing together many of the established events around St George’s Day in Southwark.
