Happy Streets Festival 2025

Date
Sat 5 - Sun 6 Jul 2025

Each year, hundreds of Battersea residents flock to Thessaly Road to join the fun at Happy Streets, a free family arts festival featuring live performances, face painting, food and more!

From football games, to dance workshops to free pizza-making, Happy Streets has dozens of activities for all ages. Get messy with local artists in arts and crafts workshops at the R.O.S.E Community Clubroom or make your own smoothie using pedal-power! 

Expect an afternoon of colourful street performances, dancers, and some incredible live music from local young people. Happy Streets took place for the first time in July 2019, inspired by London artist Yinka Ilori’s colourful redesign of a railway underpass on Thessaly Road in Nine Elms that links the Savona, Patmore and Carey Gardens estates. In 2020, the festival was shortlisted for Best Arts Project - Community Cohesion at the Hearts for the Arts Awards.
