Thames Festival

London, 2 September 2008

The London Eye has played a key role in the regeneration of the South Bank and is proud to support the Mayor’s Thames Festival, a spectacular, free celebration of London and its river. For 2008 the London Eye has provided £5000 in sponsorship and will be lit all the colours of the rainbow in celebration of this fantastic event.

Taking place over 13 and 14 September between Westminster Bridge and Tower Bridge, the festival brings Londoners together in the very heart of the capital to dance, make sculptures, listen to music, watch movies, drink, eat, enjoy performances, sing, play on the beach, sail on the Thames and dance in the streets.
