The River Life Procession was part of Derby Festé 2023 in which hundreds got involved with dancing, drumming, marching and placard waving in a sea of blue.
Alongside this, we had performers on giant wheels, dancers in futuristic neon outfits, fire breakdancers and 20ft high evanescent figures weaving through the crowds.
This film was made possible from the generous funding of The Duke of Devonshire Charitable Trust and The National Lottery Community Action Fund. Derby Festé is funded primarily by Arts Council England, with support from a number of partners including Déda, Derby City Council, Derby Live, Derby Museums, QUAD, Visit Derby, Derby Theatre, Cathedral Quarter, St Peters Quarter, ArtCore, Marketing Derby, Derby Cathedral, University of Derby, Derby College, Derby CAN, Down to Earth Derby, baby people.
