Welcome to the official home of the Croydon Summer Festival, the borough’s favorite annual celebration of music, culture, food, and community spirit!
Our Story
The Croydon Summer Festival was established in [mention a year, e.g., 2005] by a dedicated group of local residents and volunteers. Our shared vision was to create a premier, accessible, and inclusive summer event that truly reflects the incredible diversity and dynamism of Croydon. What started as a small local gathering has blossomed into one of the region’s must-attend festivals, celebrating the heart and soul of our community every year.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: to bring the community together through the unifying power of culture and entertainment.
We are passionately committed to:
- Celebrating Local Talent: Providing a vital platform for emerging artists, musicians, and performers from Croydon and South London to share their work.
- Promoting Diversity: Showcasing a vibrant tapestry of cultures through international food stalls, artisan craft markets, and unique cultural performances.
- Community Focus: Ensuring the festival remains a safe, welcoming, and family-friendly environment with free or low-cost activities for people of all ages.
- Lasting Impact: Working to support local charities and organizations through the event’s proceeds and presence.
More Than Just an Event
The Croydon Summer Festival is a true labor of love, powered entirely by dedicated volunteers, local businesses, and community sponsors. It is a celebration built by Croydon, for Croydon. Every ticket purchased, every stall visited, and every dance enjoyed directly supports the continuation of this beloved community tradition.
