The Waterloo Festival is an annual celebration of arts, community and heritage run by St John’s Church. During lockdown in May and June 2020, the festival was brought online; because of an overwhelmingly positive public response, they have decided to keep the website LIVE for the foreseeable future! 

The theme of the festival, Transforming Communities, was decided long before the public health crisis but has now acquired a new digital dimension. The festival included a premier performance of a multi-voice composition sourced from public contributions, an exploration of the history of homelessness in Waterloo, a Coin Street Community and Illuminated Bridges art project and a series of writings and music on the theme of freedom of the press. 

Later in June there was an an exploration of Cardboard City and the history of homelessness in Waterloo. Discussions on intersectionality in the LGBTQ+ community also took place during Pride Month. 

Local collaborators include Morley College, with their podcast straight from the festival, Art4Minds who work with local youth forums, Southbank Sinfonia, and the Ernest Read Symphony Orchestra. 

All of this incredible content is now available online here.
