A WORLD arts and culture festival is being held in Middlesbrough to reflect the growing cosmopolitan complexion of Teesside.
Families were entertained by music and performances from a mix of new residents with roots in Zimbabwe, the Ivory Coast, Iraq, Kurdistan and Asia, at a World Party, held in Middlesbrough Town Hall crypt, on Sunday.
An organiser for Winterfest, Teesside's first music festival, said: "If we celebrate this together, we can learn from each other, and have a really good time as well."
