One Hackney Festival

Time and Date: 12 Noon, July 21, 2012

Location: Hackney Hackney

Info: The One Hackney Festival 2012 is a borough wide event taking place on 21 July to welcome the Olympic flame.

Everyone who lives and works in or visits Hackney will be invited to take part in the celebrations in many different ways.

The whole day will be a distinctively local celebration, but special guests from elsewhere in London, from UK cities such as Liverpool and Glasgow, and from overseas, will add a regional and international flavour.

The parade

On the day itself there will be a vibrant and musical street parade, moving to a specially-composed soundtrack of Hackney, and culminating in an event in one of London's finest parks, Clissold Park, Stoke Newington. At Clissold Park, you will be able to take part in a mass celebration dance to our own Hackney Anthem.

Festival fringe

Accompanying the parade will be a Festival fringe which will extend the celebrations to Hackney's distinctive town centres, with food, performance and music throughout the borough.

Secret Garden Party

Time and Date: July 19, 2012 - July 22, 2012

Location: Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire Cambridgeshire

Artists: Molotov Jukebox, Slamboree , Perhaps Contraption , Kazimier Krunk Band, Brassroots, Tankus the Henge

Info: Like never before, we are aware of our unique position as a social animal. The carnival of the Olympics, the phenomena of the 2012 prophecies, the arrival of the seven billionth human, the dawn of the urban age: ours is a human world. Yet these ‘mass collective moments’ hint at a richer history, a more varied landscape of ceremonial occasion that ...have bound men together across the ages, that have reinforced and reinvented that most remarkable of our achievements: society.

This year, as The Garden celebrates her 10th Birthday, we explore those ceremonies, rituals, initiations, anniversaries and carnivals that bind us together, that emphasise matter over mind, that emphasise our true gifts as humans: social existence.

Great Britain has only recently emerged from a period of restrictive manners, customs and hierarchy. The explosion in the middle of the last century, of freedom, sexual liberation and rebellion, represents a volcanic eruption of the irrepressible lava of human expression. The Secret Garden Party, along with all modern hedonic gatherings, has direct links to this awakening and release of the human spirit.

So get your thinking caps on. Dream your own anniversaries, your own ceremonies, your own initiations. Don’t be a spectator, don’t be part of a passive congregation. Create gatherings and parties that breakdown the walls of inhibition, shyness, the other, the stranger. We are already naked, so use your freedom to unite with your fellow Gardener. 2012 is not the end of it all – it is merely a rallying call to unite, to come together, to reinforce the ties that bind.
