Clary Salandy, associate artistic director, said: “If you think Luton International Carnival was great, Luton Streets Festival will be another fantastic day for all of the family, with loads of exciting things to do for children.
“There will be incredible acrobatics on the street, dinosaurs roaming and the opportunity to experience the Serengeti brought to life. Come and be part of the fun.”
Other activities on the day include circus skills, animal mask-making and street arts at the free drop-in workshops.
Visitors are encouraged to join in with the activities and dance all day long, a DJ will be playing music for the entirety.
