Saturday 19th October, 11am till 2pm. Like so many cities, Sunderland was marred by violence in early August. However, Sunderland is a City proud of all its communities. A number of community groups are coming together in unity, to create an event that will joyfully celebrate our diversity. That is why, on Saturday 19th October, people and groups from across the city are invited to come together in and around Sunderland Minster for a free, family-friendly day of food, dance, drama, music and celebration. There will be opportunities to learn from and celebrate every one of our communities, as we join together in food and entertainment, and get to know each other. There will be stalls and activities from 11-2pm, so please come along, free of charge, in the spirit of unity and community!! There is more that unites us than divides us!...
