The event was held on Saturday, August 16th and was packed with families with small children and many young residents from the area. A highlight was the performance of the Grass Roots Theatre Company from Zimababwe who performed a set, led games with the children and played for the fancy dress parade led by Pirate Paul the local chiropractor. There was also a mobile five a side football pitch funded by a grant from the Leith Regeneration Outcome Agreement.
