Why We’re Hosting Folly Fest?
We created Folly Fest 2025 because we believe community is built through connection – and connection begins with celebration.
Celebrating Cultural Diversity
Kirkdale and the wider North Liverpool area are home to people from all over the world. Each culture brings it’s own stories, flavours, music and traditions – and we want to shine a light on all of them. Folly Fest is a space where everyone is welcome and everyone belongs.
Strengthening Social Cohesion
In challenging times, it’s more important than ever to bring people together. Whether you’ve lived here for decades or just moved in, Folly Fest is an invitation to meet your neighbours, share experiences and build lasting bonds. We believe community festivals like this help reduce isolation, break down barriers and promote understanding.
A Place To Feel Proud Of
Rotunda has always stood for people, potential and place. Folly Fest is one more way we’re helping people feel proud of where they live and the part they play in making it vibrant and welcoming.
Come & Join The Celebration!
Bring your family, your neighbours, your energy – or just bring yourself. Whether you’re here for food, the music, the dancing or the atmosphere, you’ll leave feeling uplifted and connected.
