If you are unaware what the event is all about, the festival atmosphere was electric and immersive, with the entire park transformed into a colourful, captivating landscape. The grounds were brought to life by a vibrant mix of:- circus artists, stilt walkers, acrobats, and surprise pop up performances who engaged directly with the crowds. All performers were dressed in breathtakingly colourful and traditional D�a de los Muertos inspired skull make up and attire.

Each evening culminated in a spectacular finale, featuring jaw dropping fire performers and a dramatic, large scale firework display. Some of the live entertainment hosted on the main stages and around the grounds included an exceptional line up of professional acts:-

Sugar Vox - A talented Merseyside-based singer known for high energy renditions, including songs from the film KPop Demon Hunters.
Batala - A massive crowd favourite, this high octane samba-reggae drumming troupe thrilled audiences with their loud, synchronised rhythm and vibrant costumes.
The Fuego Chicas - A mesmerising fire dance troupe showcasing spectacular fire acts and daredevil stunts.
