WATCH: Islington celebrates 15th Cally Festival

Thousands of people turned out for the 15th edition of the Cally Festival in Islington on Sunday.

The festival is a community-run event which celebrates the local area with live music stages, a street market, creative workshops and stalls run by local businesses.

Cally Festival is organised by volunteers and sponsored by local organisations and businesses, including Halo, the Institute of Physics and Islington Council.

Organisers shut down a stretch of the road from Offord Road to Stanmore Street, leaving space for the roughly 10,000 people who passed through to enjoy what was on offer.

Russell Swallow, an organiser, said: “It’s a community festival for the people, by the people and it couldn’t happen unless the local organisations and everyday people stepped out of their houses and helped.”
