Summer Festivals 2024

On Saturday 27 July Amal spent a sunny afternoon at the Ben & Jerry’s Sundaes In The Park Festival.

She explored the beautiful Chiswick House & Gardens, met many people and of course tried some of the famous Ben & Jerry’s ice cream.

In August Amal visited Cymru for the very first time, as the guest of Green Man Festival 2024.

On Sunday 18 August she led the children’s parade from Little Folk, gathering the wishes of young people along the way.  At midnight, she led a march to the Green Man effigy and added her own wish as well as those of the children of Little Folk, local schools and refugee organisations across Wales, and watched the stunning firework display.

In September 2024 Little Amal returned to Poland, two years after her first visit.

Amal was the guest of the Malta Festival in the beautiful city of Poznań as part of the festival’s opening weekend. This year’s festival celebrates themes of the natural world and femininity and has a programme of street theatre, music, art installation and more…

On Saturday 7 September she chased the thrilling Domino installation – created by Arts Admin – through the city centre.  On Sunday 8 September she danced with students of Projekt Elimu at the iconic Poznań Goats clocktower in the city’s Old Market Square.

Amal visited Yorkshire this September as part of the Yorkshire Integration Festival celebrations, a series of events raising awareness of the experiences of refugees and celebrating refugee communities.

On Saturday 21 September in Halifax, she led a procession from Halifax Town Hall to the Yorkshire Integration festival at The Piece Hall.

On Sunday 22 September in Hull, her journey led her to Pearson Park where she helped celebrate the diversity of the city’s communities with the help of Hull’s renowned Freedom Chorus.

Little Amal’s visit to Yorkshire was jointly organised by Migration Yorkshire, Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council and Hull City Council.
