Don't be like me.
Before you even consider attending this free open-door festival make sure you can pronounce the river Thames! (Note: Thames is pronounced /ˈtɛmz/temz)
Once you have mastered the pronunciation, do take part in this festival that sadly is a celebration of the last few remaining days of 'summer' culminating with the fireworks finale on Sunday eve at 9.45pm.
But celebrate we must!
Along the southern bank of the Thames in zones 1, 2, 3 and 4 enjoy a bounty of little stalls and markets selling odds and ends, specialty food, arts and crafts, traders, and bars. In addition, in zone 1 the 'new European village' stalls will feature Hungary, Poland and Romania presenting traditional folk crafts, delicious (fresh, home-made) apple juice and possibly some heavenly Tokaji.
On Sunday night, from 7.15-9.30pm there will be a 'night carnival'-- a la Copacabana, (although probably not quite as lavish,) with 30 groups taking part. Dancers, musicians, and masqueraders will be taking on the bank in a fantastic display of street arts and creativity!
