T-Fest is a FREE event in its third year and takes place on Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th July at Grays Beach, Riverside Park, in Essex from 10am until 9pm (Sunday 8pm).

Line-up

This year's event has acts ranging from X-Factor finalists, Stacey Solomon, Chico and Rachel Adedeji; Britains Got Talent stars Stavros Flatley; local bands and performances; and over 50 community stalls. The Green Village and a huge fun fair will be located on Kilverts Field. Internationally renowned Weapons of Sound, who use recycled materials to make very loud music, will also be appearing.

On site

Expect a carnival atmosphere with images of bright, outlandish costumes, imaginative floats and dancing on the streets with food, drink, family fun and loads of events for all the family. The world food court brings exciting food for the whole family, from traditional Fish and Chips to Caribbean, Chinese, Indian and other world foods.

Ethos

An event such as T-Fest has the ability to create a positive profile of the borough, celebrate diversity and promote civic pride. T-Fest is very much an event for local people with many of the performers coming from Thurrock. The event is also a showcase, bringing people of local talent together, on the same stage as big acts and big names.
