Leighton-Linslade Town Council regularly puts on FREE community
events which are now firm fixtures in the town’s event calendar.
 Music
in the Park: Silver and brass bands play all your
favourite tunes from the beautifully restored 1930’s bandstand
in Parson’s Close, the town’s premier park. Most Sunday
afternoons during the summer you can find a spot for your deckchair
in the shade of the mature trees to sit back and relax.
Anglia in Bloom: Following
the 2010 High Silver Award in this county competition, the town
continues working together for another stab at the top prize, resulting
in automatic entry to the well known Britain in Bloom. Meanwhile
the town benefits as it is transformed into a ‘blooming’
paradise, a sight to see!
Mayday Fayre: Running
for 20 years and hosted by the Rotary Club, this popular annual
event promises something for everyone including over 20 stalls,
a showground and live music.
Leighton-Linslade Carnival:
Early July sees the streets light up as the annual carnival begins
with a parade of floats through the town. The day continues with
a circus, stalls, live music and many more attractions.
 Linslade
Canal Festival: Always the last Saturday in July,
the festival has taken place in the beautiful setting of Tiddenfoot
Waterside Park, Linslade since 2003. The bustling day attracts countless
narrow boats and visitors as they join in with the locals to enjoy
the eclectic mix of entertainment on offer. Something for everyone
including live folk music and dancing, animals, rural craft demonstrators,
pig on the spit and a beer tent!
Cultural Event:
Since the year 2000, October is the month for this bumper community
event, taking place in Leighton Buzzard’s historic town centre.
Traditionally, this event has been an historical themed day looking
back over periods of history from the Roman Times to present day.
2011 will see the event taking on a ‘cultural’ theme.
Not only will local organisations perform music and dance but artists,
literary groups and local ethnic communities will all be able to
show off their talent and skills. Another ‘not to be missed’
day.
