Plans for this summer's East Oxford Festival have begun in earnest.

The festival brings together many people to celebrate the rich diversity of the area.

The exact format of the festival is still evolving but local community groups are already gearing up for the event.

Everybody is welcome to get involved.

Cowley Road may be a focal point for the festival with various points along the road holding activities and street entertainment.

The festival is supported by East Oxford Action and looks set to be in late June or early July.
