The aim is to create public opinion with panels on topics such as immigrant rights, labour struggle, education, women and youth during the festival.

The closing event to be held at Clissold Park on July 6 will be held with a large turnout this year, as it does every year. The park festival will create a true festival atmosphere with artists taking the stage, cultural stands, local foods and special events for children. DAY-MER invites the entire community to this multicultural and participatory festival.
