The countdown is officially on, with this year’s Blacon Festival now less than two weeks away. Organised by local social enterprise Avenue Services, the free festival attracts thousands of visitors each year and is widely recognised as Chester’s biggest community-led celebration. This year’s event is taking place at Queen Elizabeth Fields, in Blacon Avenue, from 1-5pm on Saturday 5 July. With a theme of ‘Carnival’, the festival will be jam-packed with fun activities and entertainment, including live music, stalls, funfair rides, dancing and more. Paul Knight, Head of Avenue Services, said: “The Blacon Festival is always a brilliant occasion and a fantastic showcase for all the great things Blacon has to offer. “Our team has put together a packed and varied line-up and we can’t wait to welcome people of all ages for another memorable community celebration.” Avenue Services, which is a not-for-profit organisation, is a joint venture between Sanctuary and Cheshire West and Chester Council.
