The event forms part of the renowned city-wide, all-night White Night festival, themed around Utopias.
A night time setting for the Alternative Village Fete gives license to delve into the darker side of folk, so you'll find everything you'd expect at a fete but with a nocturnal edge...Engaging the most exciting artists and creatives from the city and beyond, visitors to the stage and stalls will encounter experiences that take them from deco tea rooms, swing dancing and vintage glamour makeovers to pop video routines, food flinging olympics, dark midnight rituals and everything in between! Expects ghouls, vamps, kitsch popstars, rocka-hillbillies, retro hepkats and kittens. Visitors are invited to express their twilight egos and dress up for the occasion... Come out and play!
