Opening of Bury Festival

Today marked the beginning of the 24th Bury St. Edmunds Annual Festival here in town. Everyone came out for the opening ceremonies tonight, which included performances by the Band of the Royal Parachute Regiment and the Swamp Circus (think Cirque du Soleil)! See video for some of the festivities:


During the festival, they will have drive-in movies, musical performances, and other theater/comedy shows. On the 24th, they even have a Prom Night that will end up a "fantastic firework display." There's definitely a great atmosphere in town!

As we left the festival, we saw a little piece of home as the band boarded what appeared to be a Florida Gators bus. =)
