New Foodie Festival Announced For Ealing

---

Summer Festival dates have been released

It may still be chilly but Spring is here and it's time to look forward to Summer in Ealing.

The first weekend of July sees Ealing Common transformed into foodie heaven with the inaugural Eat, Drink, Ealing event, a new addition to the Ealing Festivals programme.

West London’s largest comedy, jazz and blues festivals will all be back in Walpole Park in July - however the jazz festival has been cutback from five days to two days this year.

Greenford and Acton carnivals return with their celebration of the local communities from which they emerged.  A procession will be heading towards Acton Park on Saturday, 9 July.

The council’s cabinet member for transport, environment and leisure, Councillor Bassam Mahfouz said: "These dates are definitely ones for the diary. There will be great events taking place all over the borough, bringing a top class line up of musicians, comedians and artists to Ealing. Make sure you're following Ealing Summer Festivals on all the usual social media channels to be the first to hear about special offers and who will be headlining."

There will be child-friendly areas at all the events and The Events Umbrella will continue its commitment to putting on eco-friendly festivals and the preservation of the borough’s revered green areas.
