An historic York street is set to burst into life with a floral and fire themed festival.
The Flowers & Flames Festival on Goodramgate promises a day packed with thrilling performances, family-friendly activities and captivating competitions.
Organised by the Goodramgate Traders Association, the event will take place on Sunday 16 June, and celebrates the start of midsummer, and this year coincides with Fathers Day.
The festivities will ignite with an opening ceremony at Monk Bar at 11am, with the Lord Mayor of York, Margaret Wells. The Lord Mayor will then lead a procession through Goodramgate, where local businesses will showcase their floral and fire-themed displays to be judged in a window dressing competition.
Other attractions during the festival will include a fire-eating performance, a stilt-walker, fire-themed face painting, a children’s trail and treasure hunt, and performances from Steampunk dance group the Raven Morris Dancers.
“We are thrilled to bring the Flowers & Flames Festival to Goodramgate, especially on a day that celebrates fathers,” said Zoe Sinclair, chair of the Goodramgate Traders Association.
“This event offers a unique blend of entertainment and community spirit, making it a perfect outing for families and visitors.”
The Flowers & Flames Festival is a free event and ensures fun for all the family.
