Get ready for two full days of street art, live music, and good vibes as Whitecross Street Party (WXSP) returns to liven up EC1 on July 12 and 13.

Expect epic live mural painting from some of London's most exciting street artists, along with music, dance, and spoken word performances across multiple stages. There will also be hands-on fun, with local legends offering workshops and activities for all ages.

The best part is that the art doesn't stop when the party ends; the murals remain in place for a year, transforming Whitecross Street into one of London's most underrated open-air galleries.

The festival takes place on Saturday, 12 July and Sunday, 13 July on Whitecross Street. Everyone's welcome, and everything's free.
