Berner Youth Festival

Berner Youth Festival is a key Event in BYM's yearly calendar. Appropriately called Berner Multi Cultural Festival, the festival was first introduced in 1984 and remains the same, which is to establish an eventful day celebrating the multi-cultural community that we live within.

Almost entirely, all the work that is implemented into the festival is carried out by local residents giving their time and expertise on a voluntary capacity from planning application to stewarding and cleaning on the day. This is one the main factors why local people have been able to enjoy BMCF for the many years.

Our festival comprised of; Live Music, Funfair, Stalls, Award Ceremony, Cram Board/Tug of War Competition, Exhibition - East End history, Cultural display, Fashion Show, Football Tournament

The festival is a lively community event, in 2011 it attracted approximately 5000 people of all ages, all genders and from all section of the communities. This day long festivals enhances radical tolerance and harmony within the multi-racial and multi-cultural communities in East London.
