Time to get your windows all dressed up for festival

May 15 2009 by Alison Anderson, Perthshire Advertiser Friday

THE organisers of Perth Festival, in conjunction with the Perthshire Advertiser, are running a Shop Window Competition for this year’s festival, which takes place between May 21 and 31.

It is hoped that shops and businesses will dress their windows in style for the occasion, reflecting the themes of music, dance, comedy drama and art.

The High Street will be decorated with colourful banners carrying the Festival designs. The banners capture the spirit of the festival with its colour and vitality reflecting the mix of artforms in this year’s programme.

The judging will take place on the morning of Tuesday, May 19. There will be two categories – one for department stores and the other for smaller shops.

Prizes will be tickets to festival events. This line-up includes The Prague Symphony Orchestra, Edwyn Collins, Seth Lakeman, Russell Howard, Tango Siempre, The Magic Flute and much more.

The full line-up can be seen at www.perthfestival.co.uk
