HUGE THANKS to all those who have kindly pledged and helped us reach our intial 'war chest' fund of £5,000.

For us to achieve this within 10 days, speaks volumes and makes us even more determined to make this festival happen.

Behind the scenes we are talking to various other parties with the aim to find more funding.

With two weeks left on this wonderful site, we ask each and everyone of you, to please keep on sharing and 'pledging'.

The more we raise on here, the more we can do together on this day, where the people of Hull can get together in one street and be a part of a joyous celebration of it's city's Arts.

3,500 have joined the HUMBER STREET FESTIVAL group page on Facebook. Why don't you ? Keep up to date on a daily basis of what's happening with the festival.

Hundreds of performers from the Music, Film, and Arts Scene of the City are wanting to showcase their talent.
