Community Arts Participation Project: City Fusion

City Fusion the Festival’s in house community arts participation project promotes integration, inclusion and celebrates diversity.
It is commissioned annually and engages with groups and communities from a variety of backgrounds. Participants work together alongside professional artists to create a large scale pageant and are immersed in the creative process.  After learning skills in performance, street-theatre, dance and circus they perform in their City Fusion pageant on 17th March.

Cheer on the spectacular, energetic procession as it winds through the heart of Dublin City bursting with colour, whimsical theatrics and lively musical scores.
