The popular - and free - Cally Festival returns to Caledonian Road on Sunday.

Each year, for one day, organisers close the road and over 7,000 people come together for a huge party.

A Cally Festival 2016 statement said: “Expect music, performance, art, activities, creative workshops and much more.

“We also open the road to a street market of delicious food to eat and brilliant things to buy. The Cally Festival is a free event for the whole community.

“The community really pulls together to create decorations, art works, food and performances: really showing off what this area has to offer.”

Cllr Paul Convery, who represents the Caledonian ward, said: “Festivals like this create an atmosphere and a mood where people think to themselves: ‘This place is changing for the better.’”

The festival will run from noon until 6pm.

At its centrepiece will be a costumed drumming parade led by children from Robert Blair Primary and the Barbican Drumheads. It will start at 3pm.
