The Peterborough European Cultural Heritage Festival was held at Stanley Park in the city centre on Sunday, with people from a range of backgrounds putting on a show.
From a Scottish Highland pipe and drum band, to dancing from the other side of the continent – and almost every country in between – there was something for everyone.
The day started with a procession from Cathedral Square to Stanley Park, with many participants in their traditional national costumes.
There were then performances in the park, with plenty of food and drink on offer.
Flags from nations including Ukraine, Bulgaria, Spain, Italy, Lithuania, Latvia and Greece were on display, showing the vibrancy of the city.
The event was supported by Peterborough Positive, with Pep Cipriano saying: “We as a Business Improvement District (BID) have supported this event. It brings colour and vivacity to our city centre, with lots of visitors staying here for the day investing in our city centre.
The event was organised by Peterborough's ZI Foundation and Little Bulgaria UK from Cambridge
