The Balaclava Boogie Festival is a three day music festival organised by the Carlislie Street Traders Association, now in its second year this event encompasses live music across multiple venues, as well as the Carlislie Street Market and family friendly events.

This evening marked the launch of the 2024 Balaclava Boogie Festival, with several musical performances at the Pause Bar on Carlislie Street. I joined the Ward Councillor for Balaclava, Libby Buckingham and the neighbouring Ward Councillor for Alma ward, Justin Halliday, in attending the opening night of this three-day event.

Trader Associations are vital to supporting our local businesses and our community amenity and is fantastic to see the Carlislie Street Traders Association delivering such a significant three day event to support our traders.
