CULTURES came together as Yate celebrated its diversity in the International Festival.
There was a wonderful range of cultural entertainment, activities and food on offer at St Mary's Green and Yate Heritage Centre.
Entertainment included Bollywood Dance, Irish Ceili, West African dance and drums, Chinese folk and for the first time, Ukrainian music.
There was the legendary Hindu puppet theatre, sari dressing, Chinese calligraphy and South Asian games.
Photographer Rich McD captured the action on camera for everyone to enjoy.
The International Festival was organised by Yate & District Heritage Centre (Yate Town Council). Funded by South Gloucestershire Council and Society of Merchant Venturers.
