Greenwich + Docklands Festivals: Transforming Communities through Free, Ambitious and Ground-Breaking Outdoor Performing Arts
Greenwich + Docklands Festivals (GDIF) is a non-profit organization that has been transforming communities through free, ambitious and ground-breaking outdoor performing arts for over 25 years. The organization was founded in 1996 with the aim of bringing high-quality outdoor performances to the people of Greenwich and Docklands. Since then, GDIF has grown into one of the UK's leading outdoor arts festivals, attracting audiences from all over the world.
At GDIF, we believe that art should be accessible to everyone. That's why we produce free events that are open to all. Our aim is to engage and inspire audiences by showcasing innovative and thought-provoking performances in public spaces. We work with some of the most talented artists from around the world to create unique experiences that leave a lasting impression on our audiences.
Our festival takes place every year in June and July across various locations in Greenwich and Docklands. We offer a diverse range of performances including theatre, dance, circus acts, music concerts and more. Our events are designed for people of all ages so whether you're young or old there's something for everyone at GDIF.
One thing that sets us apart from other festivals is our commitment to sustainability. We strive to reduce our environmental impact by using eco-friendly materials wherever possible. We also encourage our audience members to use public transport or cycle when attending our events.
GDIF has received numerous awards over the years including Best Festival at the London Tourism Awards in 2019. Our success is due in part to our dedicated team who work tirelessly behind-the-scenes to ensure each event runs smoothly.
In addition to producing our own festival each year, we also collaborate with other organizations on special projects throughout the year such as community outreach programs or site-specific installations.
If you're looking for an unforgettable experience that combines art, culture and community, then look no further than Greenwich + Docklands Festivals. Join us this summer for a celebration of outdoor performing arts that will leave you feeling inspired and uplifted.
