Event Description:

Milton Keynes Islamic Arts & Culture (MKIAC) will be exploring our ever-evolving technological world and outer space exploration at the City of Codes & Light Festival on Saturday, October 3. A chance for the community to come together, the City of Codes & Light Festival is a part of MKIAC’s year-round events programme. 

Combining digital storyboards, illuminate displays and lantern parades, the City of Codes & Light Festival will bring vibrant and colourful artwork across Milton Keynes. Interactive STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Mathematics) sessions will also be available for young people to get involved in, allowing them to learn more about the festival themes in more detail.

Alongside the extravagant displays and hands-on sessions, attendees will also get a chance to see Britain’s Got Talent 2024 semi-finalists Northants Sings Out choir perform live. Following standing ovations across the UK and performances alongside some of the country’s biggest artists, they will bring high-energy live music, powerhouse vocals and a feel-good spectacle to the festival. Maureen Onwunali will also be reading her poem ‘Ode to Milton Keynes’, commissioned as part of the city’s UK City of Culture 2029 bid.

The event is free for all to attend.
