Canary Wharf's Festival 14 is a four day event of fun times for the whole family. Taking place across parks, plazas and open spaces, this brand new music, arts, theatre and comedy event will run between Thursday 21 and Sunday 24 July 2022 and see Canary Wharf burst to life with over 50 performances and events. Live music and kids activities abound, with a majority of the acts, free for all. However some performances require advance booking, so get on to it so as not to miss out. Families with children can look forward to a family rave and a puppet show on an old red bus amongst a jam-packed program with something for everyone.

Canada Square Park will host the Main Stage with a fantastic program of free music. Acts include Hip Hop pioneer Grandmaster Flash, disco powerhouse Jocelyn Brown, the electrifying House Gospel Choir and London Legends Ronnie Scott's Jazz Orchestra. Spanning a variety of genres from classical, jazz, soul and neo soul, set times will be announced soon, and you'll find the lineup here .

Aside from the Main Stage, wander across to several other areas to soak up some culture. Head to Westferry Circus which will be transformed into an intimate outdoor theatre that features Shakespearean plays from 440 Theatre and The HandleBards. See the theatre lineup here . For some belly laughs, you'll be wanting the Comedy Club which will also be popping up in Westferry Circus. Follow the link given for the lineup.

As aforementioned, see here for the family program of events to keep the youngest audience members entertained.
