This is one of the best open air street theatre events I have ever been to. All completely free.The council literally close off the middle of the town for about 7 hours. Starts officially about 11:00am and runs till about 6:00pm so even if your'e 50-80 miles way, it's do-able.
I could try and describe some of the events but it's much better to google Arts Fresco and have a look. It's a street photog's paradise with no restrictions. If Garry Winogrand went there he'd be applauded or at least smiled at. Great atmosphere for adults and kids alike. The very few police there are actually trying to make sure you have a good time. It's a return to Dixon of Dock Green time in terms of attitude.
It's always on a Saturday in mid Sept, so why mention it now? Well it was the pink elephant thread that set in motion this train of thought. Unusual and colourful describes it just like the baby pink elephant.
Oh and the second reason for why now is that I might otherwise forget to mention it nearer the time
