BCT are taking part in the SIRF 2017 community carnival this year and have some great sessions coming up to help you prepare for the Carnival.<\/p>\n

The SIRF Community Carnival\u00a0takes place on Saturday 5 August at 12pm<\/strong> and is sure to be a highlight of SIRF17.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a fun and engaging way for groups, their families and visitors to join in the celebration, soak up the carnival atmosphere and join the after show party down on the Riverside.<\/p>\n

Schools and youth & community groups of all ages have been invited\u00a0to get\u00a0involved in helping to create this year\u2019s carnival. Together with a creative team of professional artists and musicians, communities will unite to create the Tees Valley\u2019s largest community celebration.<\/p>\n

SIRF17\u00a0offer participating groups free workshops with an artist to create fantastic costumes or flags for the parade, as well as opportunities to work with local musicians and choreographers. We also encourage local performance and sports groups to get involved in the event.<\/p>\n

The theme of this year\u2019s parade is Fizz Bang Pop!<\/strong> A huge celebration of SIRF\u2019s 30th Birthday!<\/p>\n

Suggested sessions are:<\/p>\n
