Dancing Bananas WFTD 2010 London There was candy floss, music and all the fun of the fair. The London Fair Trade Festival ran from Friday evening until Sunday afternoon last weekend. The event celebrated World Fair Trade Day and involved a number of fair trade organisations including Visionary Soap, Cafedirect, Zaytoun, Tropical Wholefoods and of course Shared Interest. Although the weather wasn’t on our side there was lots going on. Tate and Lyle were spinning the candy floss into pink fluffy fair trade clouds, Flamenco dancers were just some of those getting the crowds to join in the celebrations with some dancing and the Fairtrade Bananas were dancing on the streets with passers by: There were lots of exciting things to find at the stalls with sweet treats from Wish4Fairtrade, where I topped up on my Mint Crumbles which have become a staple favourite since I made a swap for them in Fairtrade Fortnight. Another favourite was the Pachacuti stall where I bought a beautiful summer hat from their great collection, now all I need is a summer to wear it in! Tell us how you celebrated World Fair Trade Day. Did you go to any of the organised events across the country or indeed the world? Racing
