South Docks Festival 2012
Thats the 16th - 20th July 2012 mark it in your diary now.
The Festival is an annual event run by St. Andrew's Resource Centre in collaboration with Pearse Area Recreational Centre and many local groups and clubs. The Festival aims to highlight and celebrate Pearse Street's and City Quay's traditional association with the docks as well as continuing to celebrate our lively local community and heritage.
This year's festival will provide an array of events and activities to suit all ages and interests. From our Gala Dinner Dance to the Teddy Bears' Picnic, from our Children's Sports Day to the Fair in the Square, there is sure to be an event that appeals to every member of our community.
This year's Festival Committee are greatly aware of the current economic situation the country finds itself in, yet are endeavouring to make this year's festival one to remember. Budgets may be tighter, but the 23rd Annual South Docks Festival plans to be as popular as ever. With the help of a number of generous supporters all of our events are going ahead.

Why not Volunteer?
Every year the South Docks Festival is organised and staffed entirely by volunteers who we rely on to support and deliver all events. The past few years has seen a huge input from local people and companies in the area supporting the festival, and this year we need that commitment more than ever. We require enthusiastic people who feel they can bring something to our festival . Anyone, from any background, can help make our festival a success this year. Training will be provided if necessary. We need help with everything from event co-ordination, festival crowd control, festival promotion and venue management. If you feel you can bring something to the festival, please do not hesitate to contact us. Simply phone Amanda on 01 6771930
The South Docks Festival 2012 is sure to be a great hit once again this year, and with great weather (we hope!), a great line-up of events, and a supportive community, this year's festival will be one to remember!
