Head for Hoxton

There'll be dancing in the streets of Hoxton this Saturday, when carnival characters and over-sized sculptures strut their stuff with plenty of live music.

The 90-min parade is an old tradition that's been recently revived for the Shoreditch Festival and it promises to be a great party for everyone.

Shoreditch Park, Bridport Place, N1 (07753 281 045). Sat 21 Aug, 1pm, free. www.shoreditchparade.com
