Busy behind the scenes

The WestFest team have been very busy behind the scenes - networking and talking to people who want to take part in WestFest or who are happy to support us. We've also been doing some of the less exciting, but very necessary, things which will help the Festival run smoothly. So far we're delighted with the support we are getting from organisations and individuals across the West End, but there's still lots more to do and more people to meet and places to go.

To date we have the backing of Dundee City Council, Dundee Rep, University of Dundee, Dundee Botanic Gardens, Mills Observatory several of the West End churches, West End Community Council and lots of enthusiastic individuals.

Over the coming weeks you will see changes to this website as the programme for the festival week develops. Already we have the outline for a wonderful opening event on Magdalen Green on Sunday 20th June, and we are working on plans for the parade and party on the final day - Sunday 27th June.

There is still plenty of time for you to get involved, so email your ideas, suggestions and offers of help to westendfestival@rocketmail.com. We also welcome offers of financial support - either business sponsorship or by becoming a Friend of WestFest, email us for details.
