Giving you a heads up here on an event in about a week. Why a week's notice? Because it's free and it's in the UK and this musical festival looks to be about 100 thousand people or so attending. Given those numbers, you might want to plan ahead.

The first ever open air Pakistan Festival to be held in the heart of London, at Trafalgar Square,
will celebrate the country's independence and salute the contributions of British Pakistanis.
In partnership with Geo TV, the event will start with a parade originating at Hyde Park and making its way via Piccadilly Circus, Haymarket and Pall Mall East to Trafalgar Square featuring a Pakistani pipe band, a British Life Guards band and floats flying the Pakistan colours. At Trafalgar Square a six hour show will begin around 1 PM (ending around 7). with a cultural extravaganza followed by pop, bhangra and folk music with a star-studded cast including Abrar-ul-Haq, Hadiqa Kiyani, Ali Zafar, Najam Sheraz and Jawad Ahmed

Colourful stalls offering Pakistani cuisine and displaying Pakistani products and handicrafts will create a 'mela' or festival atmosphere.
Fashion icon Maheen Khan's urban fashion line couture inspired by Pakistani truck art will also be on display. Souvenir T-shirts and caps will be available.
The festival will demonstrate Pakistan's rich heritage, economic dynamism and vibrant and diverse culture.
The show will reflect the beauty of the land, its music and its people offering British Pakistanis a celebration of their accomplishments in different walks of life in the UK. Several sports and showbiz personalities are expected to join the parade and the show including Sean Wright, noted author and musician/songwriter. Check out Sean Wright's Tidal Wave on CD Baby which is the first of his series of a CD a month.

This will be an amazing festival in a way to bring people together in the spirit of sharing music and building bridges with Sheraz and other musicians performing as a way to reach out to the Western culture and celebrate this event.
