Leicester Riverside Festival took place June 6th & 7th 2015 and featured lots of things to see and do including a demonstration of water rescue procedures from Leicestershire fire brigade, traditional canal crafts and lots of local performers on the main stage in Bede Park.

My short film aims to capture some of the many things on offer and the atmosphere of Sunday at the festival. images follow
