Today, I will do the research regarding the festivals in Manchester & Salford. I felt sad that I'm going to UOS by winter, there rarely to have any other festive, other than Chinese New Year. But festive still a interesting topic for me to find out the fun part of it.
In Manchester & Salford, it's not only Christmas makes you feel festive. There are more festivals in this city than there are in a hilltop Spanish village and they cover a dizzying range of activities throughout the year. Or every two years in the case of the big daddy, Manchester International Festival, which welcomes half a month of world premieres by major artists like Bjork, Marina Abramovic, Tino Seghal and Rufus Wainwright, plus performers like Kenneth Branagh, Willem Dafoe, The xx and Abida Parveen. Annually, the Manchester Jazz Festival and the Manchester Literature Festival are hugely entertaining and if that's not enough for you, there are celebrations of history, food and drink, beer and cider... the list goes on and on.
#Manchester International Festival
MIF15 will be started by two more days later, which is 2 July 2015-19 July 2015.
I found that MIF is a very important event in Manchester. It described as "probably the most radical and important arts festival today". Taking place biennially, it launched in 2007 as an artist-led commissioning festival presenting ambitious new works of performing arts, visual arts, music, theatre, dance and family events.
Advertising is the most important for events, same as MIF. There are huge billboard adverts everywhere and some of the local theatres are getting ready for MIF15.
#Manchester Food & Drink Festival
I love to eat very much. That's why I'm always have huge interest in researching topic regarding food.
MFDF15 will be held on September 10th to 21st, in Albert Square. It's an original urban food fiesta for 18 years. There are expecting to have 100,000 visitors this year. Sadly, I did have the chance to be one of the 100,000. The festival highlights a number of "Festival theme", issues which aaffect the food and drink industry in the region.
Like Manchester itself, this MFDF is both original and modern at the same time. From their promotional video, it's really look fun to join. I wish I can have the chance to join it, at least once.
