Midsummer Festival

Midsummer Festival is a free one-day festival celebrating arts and culture in the West Midlands.

 

Featuring a collection of many West Midlands theatre, dance, music, artists and venues, Midsummer Festival will mark the Summer Solstice with a wide range of live, archived and pre-recorded cultural activity available online. The day will include performances which have never been seen before from companies including the Royal Shakespeare Company, ACE Dance and Music and Birmingham Contemporary Music Group.

Tune in here on Saturday 20th June where we’ll be streaming a selection of the performances and activities from 11am – 11pm. See the full schedule of the performances and activities we'll be streaming here. Or take your pick from the full list of events and activities below...

Midsummer Festival is raising funds for the Freedom Fund for Black Artists in the West Midlands. The fund will be used to respond to Black Artists individual needs at this current moment in time. The fund will support and address direct and immediate needs that are self-identified by Black Artists in the West Midlands region. MAIA, an artist-led cultural organisation; a platform for creative practice, critical thinking and social change, will use their expertise to manage and distribute the funds. You can donate to this fund here.
