Leading artists from all over the world will come together in the UK’s biggest ever festival - a chance for everyone to celebrate London 2012 through dance, music, theatre, the visual arts, film and digital innovation, and to leave a lasting legacy for the arts in the UK.
The Festival will serve as the culmination of the Cultural Olympiad and will open on 21 June 2012 - Midsummer’s Day. It will run until 9 September 2012 - the last day of the London 2012 Paralympic Games.
At the heart of the festival will be a programme of commissions by some of the finest artists in the world, with events ranging from pop to film, from visual arts and fashion to theatre, from circus to carnival, from opera to digital innovation.
