On Sunday 11th June 2000 we will once again close the streets, put up banners and bunting, eat and drink and laugh and dance, as the cream of Walcot's golden youth entertain us with their musical virtuosity and merry pranks.Back in 1997 shop traders in Walcot Street headed by Martin Tracey (Framing Workshop) decided it was about time to re-live those festival days of the 70's and........
reclaim Walcot as an Independant Nation (The first Independant State of Walcot was in 1979) and with help from Bath Fringe began to prepare for a Street Closure and festival of magnitude, with band stages, bars, street theatre, childrens entertainment and lots of fun for all. It was a total success and has continued since then; now being a social calender event, you wouldn't want to miss it would .
Don't forget your passport!
