Grand Union Summer Festival

Grand Union Summer Festival

The Grand Union Summer Festival is a free, family-focused event in London that brings together live music, cultural performance, street food and hands-on workshops.

The programme features a mix of local bands, DJs and acoustic acts alongside cultural displays such as a Lion Dance — a vivid, traditional performance rooted in Chinese communities. Food stalls from independent vendors offer a range of cuisines, and a schedule of workshops provides craft, dance and music sessions suitable for both children and adults.

Geared toward families and community participation, the festival aims to create a relaxed, social atmosphere where visitors can sample local talent, experience cultural performances and take part in creative activities.
