Celebration 2009!

Congratulations to everyone involved in making this year's Watford Celebration, on Bank Holiday Monday 25th May, a huge success! Watford Celebration 2009! was held at the Colosseum Watford, Rickmansworth Road, Herts, WD17 3JN. For pictures of this years event please click here. Pictures were taken by Christophe Murphy.

The event brings together all the cultures, faiths and talents of Watford and surrounding areas in a day of celebration and friendship. The day lets you sample the rich diversity of our town.

For the past two years we have had around 2500 people sharing and sampling each other’s diverse food, music, dance, drama, art, culture, customs and beliefs!

There was a variety of performances from our talented ethnic and artistic groups. The numerous stalls informed visitors of the various organisations dedicated to making Watford a safe and family friendly town, inclusive of all faiths, cultures and nationalities. For a list of the stall holders at this years event, please click here.

In the Sacred Space area, visitors were able to explore each faith group’s beliefs and values. Click here for a description of what the Sacred Space is, and click here for how this year's Sacred Space will proceed.

There was entertainment for the children and plenty of food from our various communities.

The event was kindly sponsored by Mayor Dorothy Thornhill and St Michael’s Catholic High School and Specialist College. Entry was free and all were welcome.

The aim of the Day is to bring the various communities of Watford together as one family.

Doors opened at 11am, and closed at 5pm. Watch for our yellow banner on the Colosseum at the beginning of May!

Enjoy a wonderful day at the Colosseum on Bank Holiday Monday 25th May.
