The craft fair, music stalls and street stalls on the Saturday and Sunday will also be expanded this year, as will the free music and dance stage events all on the recreation ground. Last year saw over 65,000 visitors attend the 200 free ticketed events to watch the 2,800 artists that came together to make up the Canterbury Festival. This year is envisaged to be just a fantastic, which is why the Canterbury Festival is seen as one of the most important cultural events in the South East. This is where artists can be inspired to perform and to create. New work is created specifically for the festival, so if you want to see something exciting and different, something that makes you think and makes you remember, this is the place to be.
